NOWOS named among MT/Sprout Challenger50
We’re proud to share that NOWOS has been selected for this year’s MT/Sprout Challenger50, joining the list of the Netherlands’ 50 most innovative and fast-growing companies.
We are thrilled and honored to be named one of the Challenger50 for 2025.
This recognition confirms what we see every day: the circular economy for batteries isn't just a future ideal; it's a powerful commercial and operational solution, right now.
Our mission at NOWOS is to prove that repairing batteries at an industrial scale is the smartest business choice. We're not just an "eco" company; we are an industrial partner, saving our customers 40-60% on battery replacements and solving their complex, compliant logistics.
It's inspiring to be included in a group of companies that are all challenging the status quo and proving that better business models are possible. Congratulations to the entire 2025 Challenger50 cohort. Congratulations to all the companies on this year’s list, this year’s finalists Leyden Labs, Cead, and to Intelic for taking home the win.
This only motivates us to accelerate our expansion and continue scaling our impact across Europe.
