Healthy Food, Environment, and Lifestyle

Naaldwijk - In 2023, the fifth edition of the Topsector Horticulture & Starting Materials #IMPACT2025 Innovation Prize will take place. In this anniversary edition, the central theme is health; special innovations that contribute to healthier eating, healthier living, and the role of Horticulture & Starting Materials in climate. Solutions and innovations related to this theme are eligible for the Innovation Prize.

WHY PARTICIPATE IN THE TOPSECTOR INNOVATION PRIZE?

By participating, you have a chance to receive a unique kickstart through access to a relevant network of industry experts, visibility in the horticultural chain, and knowledge for scaling up your idea or product. Additionally, you have the opportunity to win prizes, guidance, and training worth over 30,000 euros!

Michiel Roelse, Director of TKI Horticulture & Starting Materials: “Proud that this is already the 5th edition of the Topsector H&P Innovation Prize. This year, we deliberately choose a theme that is further from production. It's about how we can better contribute to healthy food, lifestyle, and environment with all the beautiful fresh products (flowers, plants, vegetables, and fruits)."

New this year is the TUx: ideas that are not yet on the market but in the idea/concept phase, with potential impact on health through the use of fresh products (food, lifestyle, and environment).
