NVO Transport is a finalist for the Groningen Entrepreneurs’ Award 2025.

From a shortlist of 10 nominated companies in Groningen, the jury has selected three finalists for the final on 27 November 2025 at Martini Plaza. This took place during an exciting event at Noorderpoort College, where the 10 nominees were given the opportunity to present their companies via a pitch. They had previously been assessed on criteria including organisation, HR policy and finances.

Deputy Director Alex Janssen presented NVO in his characteristically down-to-earth manner. ‘Just get on with it. With a Groningen driver taking you from door to door, we never see any obstacles along the way.’ ’As he uttered this last sentence, he showed a photo of a large moose in the middle of a snow-covered main transport route somewhere in Sweden. It had the audience in stitches.

[UPDATE] Unfortunately, we were unable to secure first place on 27 November. However, we are proud to have reached the final. Proud that we were able to get this far and that we could promote NVO Transport in a positive light.
