This October, SaaSiest Amsterdam will not only bring together the brightest minds in B2B SaaS – we will also celebrate the companies and leaders shaping the future of SaaS across the Benelux.
For the very first time, we’re introducing The SaaSiest Awards in the Benelux: three categories that highlight excellence, innovation, and leadership in our community. Winners will be announced live on stage at SaaSiest Amsterdam, October 1st.
Here’s everything you need to know.
🏆 The SaaSiest Company in the Benelux Award
Over the past few weeks, the SaaS community has spoken. Hundreds of nominations poured in, highlighting the companies that are pushing the boundaries of innovation, growth, and customer success in the region. From all those nominations, 100 companies rose to the top – proof of the incredible recognition and momentum they’ve earned.
This award, presented in partnership with Techleap.nl and OVHcloud, is about more than revenue numbers or growth rates. It’s about celebrating the companies that the SaaS community itself believes are driving innovation, building strong cultures, caring for customers, and inspiring the industry.
These companies represent the best of what the Benelux SaaS scene has to offer:
- Bold ideas turned into thriving products
- Teams scaling with relentless ambition
- Innovation that inspires the entire industry
How the Process Works
- Step 1 – The Top 100: SaaSiest, our partners, and the community nominated their favorites. The Top 100 were announced earlier this summer.
- Step 2 – The Shortlist: From the Top 100, a jury of SaaSiest, Techleap, community partners, and institutional investors will select six finalists.
- Step 3 – Public Vote: On September 15th, the shortlist will be revealed, and the entire SaaS community will have their say in the final vote.
- Step 4 – The Winner: On October 1st, 2025, live at SaaSiest Amsterdam, the company with the most votes will be crowned SaaSiest Company in the Benelux 2025 and receive the award from both OVHCloud and Prince Constantijn van Oranje-Nassau (TechLeap)
