Introduction: The quiet innovation that changes everything

In our hectic lives, some objects blend so much into the background that we forget their revolutionary nature. The pen, the toaster, the iron... inventions that, when they first appeared, were surprising before becoming natural extensions of our daily lives. But before becoming obvious, these objects were often praised for their ingenuity during a very special event: the Lépine competition .

1. The Lépine Competition: more than just a prize, a pledge of innovation

What is the Lépine Competition and Why is it Important?

For those who don't know, the Lépine Competition is a true French institution. For over a century, it has rewarded the most brilliant and practical inventions dreamed up by inventors from all walks of life.

This was also the case for László Biró's ballpoint pen, which won a prize at the Lépine competition in 1919, because the pen revolutionized writing.
