Tummers’ Emission to Energy concept has gained unprecedented exposure in the entrepreneurial environment with its recent winning at the Rabobank SMART Award, which was organized by StartToGrow.

“This accolade is a testament to this innovative E²E initiative, highlighting the company’s commitment to sustainability, future-oriented strategies, and economic growth,” according to a recent press release.

The SMART Award was developed by StartToGrow, an organization that promotes and fosters innovation and entrepreneurship, in collaboration with Rabobank. This prize is intended to recognize the most creative entrepreneur who has not only developed ground-breaking concepts but also successfully implemented them. The nomination of the E²E concept among these pioneers demonstrates its role as a representative of the area.

“The announcement of Tummers Food Processing Solutions as the winner of the SMART Award was met with joy, pride, and a hint of disbelief. The recognition acknowledges that we are not only on the right track with E²E, but is also motivating us to put even more effort into the development of innovations! The award is a testament to our commitment to sustainability, prospects, and economic growth,” the company’s representatives mentioned.

At the heart of this victory lies the E²E concept, a groundbreaking approach with enormous potential for the future of potato processing. E²E aims to zero-emission potato processing factories, working towards self-sufficiency through the reuse of energy with low input of sustainable energy sources. The SMART Award serves as recognition for the hard work put into developing a concept that not only aligns with current environmental goals but also shapes the future of industrial practices.

“A Triumph for our E²E concept! We are thrilled to celebrate our achievement at the Rabobank SMART Award! This initiative, organized by StartToGrow, is a testament to our commitment to sustainability, future-oriented strategies, and economic growth. The E²E concept’s recognition as an ambassador for the region underscores its innovative potential. We extend heartfelt thanks to our dedicated team with Jelle Nijdam, Ed van Dolen and Dennis Rademakers, collaborator Solutherm B.V., and supporters who motivated us to get where we are. With a trophy in hand, we’re eager for an even more exciting future, driven by sustainability and a passion for innovation. The best is yet to come!” according to a recent online announcement.
