In 2023, for the 16th time, the AmSIA has taken place at NEMO Science Museum! It was a dazzling event in which 9 finalists took the stage to pitch their innovative ideas.

Researchers Guus van Dongen, Dick den Hertog and Toby Kiers have been awarded the Impact Award 2023. This Impact Award is presented to renowned researchers who make a meaningful contribution to society. There are three categories: Health, Society and Environment & Climate.

At NEMO Science Museum, the Innovation Awards were presented for the 16th time, to Zeliha Guler, Pepijn van Rutten and Olivier Lugier. They will each receive 10,000 euros to further develop their idea and bring it to the market.

PULSE Sport, former participant of AmSIA, has reached a significant milestone by winning the prestigious 14th Dutch Sports Innovation Award. The company’s flagship product, a cutting-edge athlete management system, integrates advanced software and artificial intelligence to revolutionize athlete health and performance monitoring.

UvA’ most recent spinout SolarFoil aims to increase greenhouse productivity by optimizing sunlight to increase crop yields. In doing so, the use of SolarFoil aims to reduce the use of energy- hungry artificial lighting and make horticulture more sustainable.

Tom Brouwer (Amsterdam UMC), Arnon Lesage (UvA) en Desi Bootsman (HvA) krijgen ieder €10.000 om hun idee verder te ontwikkelen en naar de markt te brengen.

We are happy to announce the nine finalists of the Amsterdam Science & Innovation Award 2023! Expect big ideas about today’s biggest challenges!
