Thirteen Rotterdam-based startups have been included in the 2025 KvK Innovation Top 100, a ranking of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Netherlands.
The selected companies operate in sectors such as agriculture, energy, circular economy, health, and digital technology.
The KvK Innovation Top 100 is managed by the Kamer van Koophandel (KvK), the Dutch Chamber of Commerce. The initiative evaluates SMEs on innovation through a combination of expert jury assessments, which account for 80 per cent of the ranking, and public votes, which account for 20 per cent.
This year, companies without revenue are eligible to participate. The platform provides exposure and recognition that can help startups attract investors or partners.
Awards include five categories covering circular economy, energy transition, labour market and society, agriculture, and water and infrastructure, along with an overall winner and five Innovation Promise Awards for early-stage companies.
Voting for the 2025 Top 100 is open until October 21. Winners will be announced on November 14 at the KvK Business Days at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht.
