An awards ceremony

Ten Groningen companies nominated for the GOP

The winner of the Groninger Ondernemingsprijs 2024 will be announced in November. Contenders could register until the end of May at the latest. You could enter your own company or nominate another; a company that you think is hugely deserving.

In mid-June, the jury shortlisted ten nominees. These have since been introduced at a special Information Meeting at the Province House. There it was also told, what is expected of the nominees in the coming months.

On the route to the finals in November, the ten nominees will have the opportunity on Oct. 3 to tell the jury themselves in a pitch why they are inspiring, successful or otherwise special. The jury will then deliberate to decide which three nominees will advance to the finals on November 21 in MartiniPlaza, Groningen.
