The European Pensions Awards 2026 are now officially open for entries!

Celebrating their 19th successful year, the European Pensions Awards continue to champion excellence in the European pensions industry, recognising the investment firms, consultancies and pension providers across Europe that have set the professional standards to best serve European pension funds over the past year.

This year's awards will highlight those who have gone above and beyond amid an unprecedented time of dynamism and vigour, as pension schemes, alongside their advisers, asset managers, technology partners, administration and communication specialists, continue to push boundaries to meet the evolving needs of their members in an unpredictable world.

These achievements are all the more impressive given the backdrop of shifting regulation and volatile market conditions, and this year's awards will celebrate those who have not only adapted but risen above these challenges with creativity, resilience and purpose.

Reflecting the ongoing evolution of the industry, we are also delighted to introduce two new categories for 2026: the Emerging Talent Award and Industry Contribution Award.

The awards are free to enter and are open to any pension fund or firm that serves European pension funds.

The winners will be announced by comedian Ivo Graham at a prestigious gala dinner on Thursday 2 July 2025 at the London Marriott Hotel in Grosvenor Square.

The deadline for entries is 25 February 2026. View the full list of categories here or submit your entry here.
