Innovation is one of the key pillars of success, and there is no debate in this. Understanding the importance of innovation, several Dutch startups have come up with unique technologies to resolve the major challenges faced by people. If we have to rate them based on the innovation they have brought in, then a majority of them have turned successful and are operating in the market currently.

This is where KvK Innovation Top 100 – an initiative that operates with the mission to showcase what SMEs are capable of in the Netherlands – comes to play. It is an opportunity for startups to increase their visibility. This initiative is meant for innovative Dutch entrepreneurs running small and medium-sized businesses.

The daily operations of the KvK are supervised by the four members of the Board of Directors (Raad van Bestuur or RvB in Dutch).

On January 21, 2021, the KvK presented the ranking for the 15th time with 100 concrete innovations realised by Dutch small and medium-sized businesses. Here are the 15 Amsterdam-based startups that made it to the list.
