At the end of January, the founders of SHARE Haarlemmermeer and the winners of the SHARE Awards 2025 came together in Hoofddorp for a special lunch. What exactly did that entail and how is Schiphol involved? Find out here.
For more than 15 years, companies, knowledge institutions and the municipality of Haarlemmermeer have been working under the banner of SHARE Haarlemmermeer on sustainability, innovation and a circular society. This innovative network platform brings parties together to accelerate sustainable, circular and technological innovation.
SHARE Haarlemmermeer participants come together every quarter for a special meeting: SHARE Meets. This is where they exchange knowledge and inspiring stories, and encourage collaboration on topics like the energy transition, circular economy and sustainable business parks.
In addition, the SHARE Award is presented each year. This prize is intended for companies that excel in sustainable innovation. In 2025, Groot Packaging won the award with their plastic-free flower packaging made from flower waste. During the award ceremony, there was also a special mention for the Hoofddorp restaurant Kastan. They hosted a special SHARE Boost Lunch last January.
As one of the founders, Schiphol has been involved in the network from the outset. At Schiphol, we work every day to encourage sustainable progress in the Netherlands. We connect the Netherlands with the world, indirectly creating thousands of jobs and opportunities for trade and people. By participating in a network platform such as SHARE Haarlemmermeer, we want to enable local entrepreneurs, businesses and society to benefit.
