Eindhoven, May 16, 2025 – On May 15, 2025, Bright Cape received the prestigious Rabobank Community Award, part of the Brainport Entrepreneurs Awards 2025. This award is presented to companies that have made a demonstrable social impact in the Brainport region.

The award ceremony took place during the celebratory Brainport Entrepreneurs Event, which highlights entrepreneurship, innovation, and social impact across the region. Bright Cape is especially proud of this recognition:

Smart Data Solutions with Social Impact

At Bright Cape, we work every day to translate data into impact — with smart insights and tangible results for businesses and organizations. And not just for commercial and operational purposes, but especially for addressing social challenges.

The jury highlighted our collaboration with Lumens as a strong example of impactful partnership. Lumens, an organization focused on building a socially resilient community in Eindhoven and the surrounding area, developed advanced data solutions with Bright Cape to help make the effectiveness of social interventions measurable and transparent.

In addition, Bright Cape supports initiatives like Taalbuddies, a buddy program that helps new colleagues improve their Dutch language skills — creating a more inclusive workplace from within.

“This award is for all Bright Capers, and a fantastic gift in the year we celebrate our 10th anniversary,” says Paul Veendrick.

"What Bright Cape does in the area of responsible corporate social entrepreneurship is take a broad, proactive approach. This includes leveraging the company’s capabilities—specifically in the field of data—pro bono for social causes. We hope this serves as both an example and an inspiration for all companies in the region."
