“The Horecava Innovation Award has brought us far more than we could have ever dreamed of. We’ve been picked up by the national media and all the trade press, our website was inundated with requests for trials, and January was one long follow-up with the team. We couldn’t have wished for a better start to the year.”

Mark Bender -
Bonnie (Winner Horecava Innovation Award 2026)

“Winning the Horecava Sustainability Award 2026 has given us a great deal of attention and visibility in various trade publications.”

Sebastiaan Krouwel - SEA Water (Winner Horecava Sustainability Award 2026)

''Winning the Horecava Public Award has not only given Joppah greater visibility, but above all, trust from the market.
Winning the award opened doors to discussions with parties we previously found difficult to reach and confirmed that, with cassava, we are introducing a new, relevant snack category within the hospitality industry.''
