Gerard & Anton Awards 2024

Last night the winners of the tenth presentation of the Gerard & Anton Awards were announced at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven. This award, named after the founders of Philips, is for the most promising startups from the Brainport Eindhoven region.

Of the 100 (former) winners of this award, 85 startups are still active. 7 have been acquired by other companies and only 8 have had to cease their activities. This makes these startups far above average in terms of success.

With more than 300 visitors, the event was bigger than ever before. And as presenters Beatrix Bos and Bert-Jan Woertman said, "We have rightly had a lot of attention in recent months on the content and consequences of Project Beethoven. But now it is time to let the andante of that composer be followed by the allegro of the startup community!"

The Gerard & Anton Awards is the annual election of the ten most promising startups in the Brainport Eindhoven region. During the sold-out event at the High Tech Campus, winners 91 through 100 received awards. Extensive interviews with each of the winners will appear on Innovation Origins in the coming days.

These are the 10 new winners:

VitalFluid B.V.
UPyTher
Sirius Medical
TracXon
