GreenTech Amsterdam Announces Innovation Award Finalists
May 7, 2026 
GreenTech Amsterdam has announced the nine products nominated for its 2026 Innovation Awards across three categories: Innovation, Concept, and new this year, Impact. According to the jury, the industry focus is shifting from data collection to actionable insights. Innovations increasingly translate data into real-time decision support, with AI playing a key role. However, the potential of well-structured data remains underused. Greater integration between systems is needed to move beyond siloed innovation and unlock real impact.
The winner per category will be announced during the opening of the show, which takes place from June 9-11 at RAI Amsterdam.
“This year’s nominations clearly show a shift from data collection towards actionable insight,” says Egon Janssen, chairman of the jury. “AI is becoming essential in transforming raw data into meaningful decisions. At the same time, the power of semantic data and system integration is still underutilized — unlocking this could significantly accelerate the move towards smarter, more connected greenhouse systems.”
The purpose of the new “Impact” category is to recognize organizations that have achieved significant real-world impact with an existing product, with at least two years of market presence and proven high impact on sustainability and revenue growth.
