Yesterday, zepp.solutions was awarded the prestigious "Nieuwe Heldenprijs" (New Heroes Award) for the most promising scaleup of the Gemeente Rotterdam metropolitan region. The award was presented during the Rotterdamse Ondernemersprijs ceremony in an evening celebrating outstanding entrepreneurial achievements in the region. The "Nieuwe Heldenprijs" jury, composed of esteemed entrepreneurs, nominated three scaleups: Qlayers , Battolyser Systems, and zepp.solutions. Following a final pitch session, the public had the decisive vote, and zepp.solutions emerged as the clear winner. During the pitch, co-founder Jan Bot shared with the audience not just the technology behind their hydrogen fuel cell systems but also the inspiring story of zepp’s founding. Zepp.solutions was established in 2017 as a spin-off from TU Delft’s hydrogen racing team, Forze Hydrogen Racing. The founders brought their unique skill set and pioneering spirit from the racetrack to the commercial sector, aiming to supply the heavy-duty industry with the technology they need for electrification. When receiving the award from Mayor Marja van Bijsterveldt of Gemeente Delft, Jan Bot remarked, "This award belongs to the entire team. Everyone has worked incredibly hard to get here, and it's amazing to see our efforts recognized." The same evening, Hollandia Services was awarded the Rotterdamse Ondernemersprijs for their role in maintaining critical infrastructure and their impact on national safety and connectivity.
