“Ambition price

The start-ups CaffeInk, Saint Trophy and Wattage have been nominated for the ambition prize. This is intended as an incentive, aimed at start-ups and small SMEs that are working on the development of sustainable innovations, but that are still at an early stage of development. The ambition prize includes 5,000 euros in prize money and 5 days of advice / support from Kiemt.

“These six nominees turn their intrinsic motivation for a better world into business. That makes them the leader in integrated solutions for a sustainable world” says Luc Kikkert, director of Kiemt.

Jan Terlouw Innovation Award criteria
Different criteria apply to the prize. For example, it must be a tangible innovation in the field of Energy Transition and Circular Economy that has been conceived and implemented in the East Netherlands region. The potential economic impact of the innovation is central to the prize.

Thanks to the Province of Noord-Holland, our technical team will be able to lead R&D to extensively test and improve the quality of our pigments. CaffeInk is also looking for partners in the pigments/ink industry to diversify the usage of its pigments.

If you want to close the coffee loop and work with us on our pigments’ inclusion in value chains, please contact us at [email protected].

We are looking for partners in pigments using industries (cosmetics, textile, printing, …) and in the ink industry, willing to test our pigments in their factories and their processes. We will adapt our production to your needs !
