Philips Innovation Award

Sounding of the gong for Philips Innovation Award

Stewart McCrone, Head of M&A at Philips (ticker symbol: PHIA), sounds the gong for the Philips Innovation Award. The Phillips Innovation Award is the largest student-entrepreneur award in The Netherlands. It was first organized 12 years ago and is organized for students, by students. Participants receive personal feedback, practice important skills, receive coaching and build a network.

On 23 March, the semi-final will be organized in “Het Drijvend Paviljoen” in Rotterdam. At this event, the 30 best participants are invited to show their start-up to investors and entrepreneurs, while receiving feedback on their pitch by a professional jury. The best 8 start-ups will make it to the final on 8 May in “De Rotterdamsche Schouwburg”, where over 800 visitors will experience an inspiring evening with interesting guest speakers and high quality innovations. A prize worth €50.000 will be rewarded to the most promising Innovator, a company between 1-3 years old, and one worth €15.000 will be given to the best Rough Diamond, an idea/company younger than 1 year.
