Registration for the Limburg Export Award 2022

Two times the election was cancelled due to corona, but this year the Limburg Export Award will be contested again. Registration for the fifteenth edition of this prestigious award is open again for Limburg entrepreneurs who do business across borders. The winner will receive, among other things, a cash prize of € 10,000. The award will be presented on October 12 during a meeting at Vegetable Seeds BASF/Nunhems Zaden, the last winner in 2019.

The Limburg Export Award is an initiative of the Export Society Limburg and has become a regular event with a concluding networking event. Participation in the competition is open to exporting companies from Dutch Limburg. Both independent and subsidiary companies may compete, provided they are registered at the Chamber of Commerce in Limburg. Size is not a decisive factor; what the jury does weigh heavily is a clear and successful export strategy, financially sound management and innovation.

Finalists

An expert professional jury will select ten candidates from the submissions for an initial review. In the end, three finalists remain. The final winner will receive a cash prize of € 10,000 and a sculpture by Roermond artist Dick van Wijk. The numbers two and three will receive a voucher worth € 500 to participate in a foreign trade trip of their choice from RVO-NL. A film team from L1 TV will visit the three finalists for a professional report. The filmed portraits will be broadcasted in the run-up to and at the awards ceremony on Wednesday, October 12 at Vegetable Seeds BASF/Nunhems Zaden in Nunhem.
