The first edition of 2019 was a great success, but this year everything is different with all the uncertainty that the coronavirus entails. We had to wait and see to what extent the head of the entrepreneurs were eager to register."
Strict selection criteria
The jury uses 5 criteria for the selection of the nominees: the degree of innovation, the impact for the farmer or horticulturist, the opportunities in the market, the degree of maturity and the 'gun factor' that it radiates. The 3 jury members each have a different background and expertise, which means that every application is viewed from various sides.
