Congratulations to Professor Philippe Aghion, who was awarded the 2025 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel on October 13, 2025 for his work on innovation-driven economic growth, alongside Peter Howitt and Joel Mokyr.

Philippe Aghion is a Professor at the College de France and at INSEAD, a visiting professor at the London School of Economics, and a fellow of the Econometric Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. 

He currently leads the SCOR Foundation's Green Innovation to fight Climate Change project, which proposes innovation as a promising way to address climate change. Its central tenet is that, through innovation, economic growth can be achieved while fighting climate change. But for the right type of innovation to take place, incentives must be aligned in both the private and the public sectors.
