Gerard & Anton Awards 2025

Instead of inviting you to the 109th edition of DPD, we warmly welcome you to the Gerard & Anton Awards 2025.

Each year, the G&A – Demos, Pitches & Drinks team, together with Innovation Origins, shines a spotlight on ten standout startups from the Brainport region. These are the startups we believe have the potential to achieve great things in the year ahead.

Each of them will receive a Gerard & Anton Award – not just as recognition for their recent progress, but above all as encouragement to take the next big leap. And it works: over the past nine editions, the success rate of our award winners has been remarkably high.

This year’s celebration takes place by the lakeside at the High Tech Campus – in the Party Tent. Should the weather turn, we’ll move the festivities indoors.
