Registration for the National Care Innovation Award 2025 is open. Do you have a healthcare innovation that has already been successfully implemented? Would you like to expand your market or make your innovation visible? Then take part in this tenth edition of the National Care Innovation Award.
Zorginnovatie.nl supports entrepreneurs in developing promising innovations. Companies that have already worked out, tested and launched their innovation can often use some help to really make their venture a success. This is why Zorginnovatie.nl is awarding the National Care Innovation Prize in 2025 for the tenth time; the prize for the most innovative care company in the scaling up phase. Participants have a chance to win the professional jury prize of no less than €10,000 or the public prize worth €5,000.
Entire course
The National Care Innovation Award consists of more than just cash prizes for the jury and public winner. The entire process is dedicated to putting promising innovations in the spotlight. From November 18 to January 24, for example, regional preliminary rounds will take place, organized by the regional partners of Zorginnovatie.nl.
During these preliminary rounds, the participants each get a stage in their own region to pitch their innovation during a pitch competition. Each region delivers a regional winner who then continues the process as a finalist of the National Care Innovation Award.
As a finalist, you will gain valuable knowledge and expand your network to take your company to the next level. On February 7 there will be a free pitch training, where you will get the necessary tips and tricks to make the story of your innovation even stronger. In addition, a special Finalist Day will take place on March 5, where you will record a professional pitch clip. At the same time, you will get to know several partners of Zorginnovatie.nl who can help you on specific themes.
Final
On March 13 the final is scheduled during the Health Valley Event . Here the finalists will have the opportunity to pitch their innovation to both the public and an expert jury. Each finalist will also have their own stand on the exhibition floor of the event to bring their innovation to the attention of the visitors. They will also have that stand at Zorg & ict from April 8 to 10. On April 9 the winners will be announced on the mainstage.
In 2024, Juvoly was awarded by the professional jury and Valtes won the audience award. View all 2024 nominees here.
