YOUNG Business Awards

YOUNG Business Awards is our prestigious event where innovative startups and ambitious entrepreneurs compete for the attention and support of some of the most influential Dutch investors. This event celebrates creativity, determination, and the entrepreneurial spirit, providing a unique opportunity for emerging businesses to showcase their ideas and gain valuable exposure. With a focus on excellence and innovation, the Young Business Awards brings together the brightest national minds.

Every year, promising young companies compete in the Young Business Award, the scale-up competition that crowns the Best Young Company of the Netherlands. The participants pitch on stage to an expert jury, and their journey is followed in a TV programme on RTL Z and Videoland.

The winner gets more than a title: professional support to raise growth capital from the more than 30 affiliated venture capital funds.
