Last Chance to Apply: BK-Launch Awards Close September 14!

Applications for the BK-Launch Entrepreneurship Awards 2025 are now open, but the deadline is coming up fast: September 14 at 23:59. Click here to see more info on how to apply and the application form. These awards support innovative ventures in the built environment, whether you’re just getting started or already scaling up. Winners can secure financial support of up to €20,000, guidance, visibility, and in the case of the Green Village Award, even access to a unique testing facility on the TU Delft campus.

In past editions, the awards have proven to be real launchpads. In 2024, Leafy won the At-Launch Award with their vision for green façade panels, and are now running pilot projects in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. That same year, Lignitec won both the Post-Launch Award and the Green Village Award, accelerating their growth with new collaborations and exposure. Going back to 2023, ventures like Urban Reef, Nevalu, and FERA also walked away with funding and recognition that helped them take crucial steps forward.

This year, six nominees will again be selected to pitch their ideas live at the awards evening on November 20, 2025, at the Faculty of Architecture & the Built Environment in Delft. From there, three winners will be chosen to carry their ideas further.

If you’re building the future of the built environment, now is the time. Submit your application before September 14 and take your chance to follow in the footsteps of Leafy, Lignitec, and others who turned ideas into impact.
