Dutch Tech Innovator Competition 2025

The KPMG Global Tech Innovator is an international event that identifies and celebrates the most innovative tech companies around the world. Beginning with national competitions in 25 countries, the winners from each country go on to compete in the global final. In the past 3 editions, Dutch scaleups Whoppah, InPhocal and Incooling competed in the global final. Who will become the Dutch representative in 2025?   

On Wednesday, June 18, 2025, we are hosting the Dutch Tech Innovator competition to determine which Dutch company will take the stage at the global final. During this event, 6 exciting startups will pitch to our jury and audience. Based on the pitch and a short Q&A, the jury will decide which company will be crowned the Dutch Tech Innovator 2025. After the pitches, you will also have a chance to talk with the participating companies and all other innovation-minded attendees over some drinks and bites.

Sign up to join us to watch the pitches, meet other innovators, and be inspired!

This event is organized by the KPMG Emerging Giants team. We support startups and scaleups in their growth and international expansion, helping companies get the fundamentals of tax, finance and operations right, so they can focus on growing.
