Logiqs has won the BID Innovation Award 2022. The BID Innovation Awards were presented to the seven most innovative companies in the Netherlands in 2022. The Dutch Innovation Award and the election for the title 'Most Innovative Company in the Netherlands' are not only about innovative capacity but also about the positive impact the company's innovative technology has on people and the environment. The Dutch Innovation Award went to Mimetas, which was nominated along with Logiqs and Physee from the horticulture sector, among others.
Gert-Jan van Staalduinen accepts the BID Innovation Award, presented by Frederieke Leeflang (NPO).
