Ropox actively works to create better conditions for people and their caregivers.
That is why we annually honor an occupational therapist with the Ropox Prize.

The Ropox Award – A Tribute to the Passionate Pioneers of Occupational Therapy
Since 1989, Ropox has annually honored an occupational therapist who has made an extraordinary contribution with the Ropox Prize and an accompanying grant of 25,000 DKK.
The prize reflects our clear mission: to make a difference for people with disabilities through innovative kitchen solutions, advanced tables, a wide range of bathroom products, and much more.
Any occupational therapist or group of therapists can nominate a colleague for the Ropox Prize. All nominations are sent directly to the Danish Association of Occupational Therapists, where the association’s vice-chairman and two practicing therapists review the nominations and select the winner. Ropox does not participate in selecting the winner.
