Koning Willem I Prijs is the renowned business award in the Netherlands, bestowed once every two years. It recognizes exceptional entrepreneurship and resilience in both small and large enterprises. The Koning Willem I Stichting has been emphasizing the importance of robust entrepreneurship since 1958.

In today's challenging times, this emphasis is more relevant than ever. The Koning Willem I Prijs is the epitome of recognition for courageous, resilient, and sustainable entrepreneurship. In addition to the prestigious Grootbedrijf and MKB awards, there is also the Plaquette for businesses that excel in sustainable entrepreneurship.

The next round of nominations for the Koning Willem I Prijs 2024 (Grootbedrijf and MKB categories) and the Plaquette for Sustainable Entrepreneurship will open on September 1, 2023.
