Three entrepreneurs stand to win the Tuinbouw Ondernemersprijs 2018 (Horticultural Entrepreneurs’ Award 2018)
The finalists for the Tuinbouw Ondernemersprijs 2018 have been announced. On Friday 27 October, Chair of the Board Nico Koomen made a surprise visit to the three nominated candidates who stand to win the prestigious entrepreneurs’ award, which, on 10 January, will be presented for the 32nd time.
What the finalists have in common is that they are using a strong and updated strategy to respond to the rapidly changing society in which sustainability and economics go hand in hand. There is a constant flow of innovations in these companies and collaboration is being sought with partners to improve not just as an entrepreneur, but as a sector. The nominated candidates develop and share knowledge.
