Dutch Innovation Award 2025
On Monday evening, 24 November, the Dutch Innovation Award 2025 was presented in three categories during the eighth edition of the BID National Innovation Gala.
This Dutch Innovation Award is based on the results of the Dutch Innovation Monitor, an annual large-scale questionnaire survey on innovation and entrepreneurship among companies in the Netherlands conducted by the Amsterdam Centre for Business Innovation (ACBI) of the University of Amsterdam in collaboration with SEO Economic Research.
Alphatron Marine was nominated with our Fixed Piloting Unit in the “large company” category; this category included a number of very impressive major players:
- AFAS Software
- Antea Group Nederland
- Fugro
- NXP Semiconductors
- Philips
- Sensata Technologies Holland
The fact that we were nominated from hundreds of entries and were among the candidates alongside the above-mentioned companies was an honour in itself. Unfortunately, it remained a nomination award, but we can all be very proud of this.
