A partnership based on a shared desire for growth

The FD Gazellen Awards are being presented for the 23rd time this year and the focus of the 2026 edition is on resilience and agility. “What sets the FD Gazellen Awards apart is their drive to keep evolving and to capitalise on opportunities in order to stay ahead,” states Sophie Wildeboer, Chief Marketing Officer at Exact. “And that is the name of the game. As an entrepreneur, you want to know where you stand and be able to change course quickly. Our business software gives you the insights you need, so you can continue to grow.” The FD Gazellen Awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on 19 November at the TivoliVredenburg theatre in Utrecht.

Making an impact together

Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen and Interpolis are also partnering with the FD Gazellen Awards 2026 alongside Exact. Mildred Hutten, FD Commercial Director, had the following to say: “We are excited to announce our collaboration with these three organisations. The FD Gazellen Awards event brings together the most dynamic companies in the Netherlands each year, providing a stage where successful entrepreneurship can be duly recognised. The fact that we can organise this event on this scale is thanks in no small part to our partners, who not only provide the means for us to do so, but take it to an all-new level. Exact, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen and Interpolis each contribute to the growth of the Dutch business community day in, day out.”
