Zorginnovatie.nl is the national network for innovations in health and healthcare. Our mission is to support entrepreneurs in developing promising innovations. Companies that have already refined, tested, and launched their innovation often need assistance to truly make their business a success. That’s why Zorginnovatie.nl will award the Nationale Zorginnovatieprijs for the tenth time in 2025; the prize for the most innovative healthcare company in the scaling phase. Participants have the chance to win the jury prize of €10,000 or the audience award worth €5,000.

Your innovation in the spotlight

The Nationale Zorginnovatieprijs consists of more than just the cash prizes for the jury and audience winners. The entire process is focused on showcasing promising innovations. From November 18 to January 24, regional preliminaries will take place, organized by the regional partners of Zorginnovatie.nl. During these preliminaries, participants will have the opportunity to pitch their innovation in their own region during a pitch competition. Each region will produce a regional winner, who will then continue on as a finalist for the Nationale Zorginnovatieprijs.

As a finalist, you will gain valuable knowledge and expand your network throughout the subsequent process to elevate your business. On February 7, there will be a free pitch training session, where you'll receive essential tips and tricks to strengthen the narrative of your innovation. Additionally, a special Finalist Day will take place on March 5, where you will record a professional pitch clip. At the same time, you will meet various partners from Zorginnovatie.nl who can assist you on specific themes.

On March 13, the final is scheduled during the Health Valley Event, the most progressive healthcare innovation event in the Netherlands. Here, the finalists will have the opportunity to pitch their innovation to the audience and a panel of expert judges. Each finalist will also have their own booth on the exhibition floor of the event to showcase their innovation to the attendees

As the grand finale, Zorg & ict will take place from April 8 to 10, the largest health tech event in the Netherlands. With over 10,000 visitors, this is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the innovations of the finalists to all stakeholders in the sector. The finalists will have a booth on the exhibition floor, and on April 9, we will conclude the process with a festive announcement of the winners on the Mainstage
