Artific, the leading AI platform in the Netherlands, has won the Nationale AI Awards 2025 in the AI Company of the Year category. This prestigious award recognises Artific’s pioneering role in making AI accessible and usable for Dutch organisations.
Winning the Nationale AI Awards is an important distinction for AI innovation in the Netherlands. The jury assessed companies on their capacity for innovation, their impact on the Dutch AI sector, technological progress and the extent to which they make AI workable for organisations. Artific stood out for its unique approach: a fully Dutch AI platform that combines security, scalability and ease of use with no vendor lock-in.
Ivo Rupert, CEO of Artific
“This award is fantastic recognition for the whole team and for our vision of making AI work for the Netherlands. We believe AI should not be the preserve of big tech companies, but that every organisation, from SMEs to enterprises, should be able to harness the power of AI in a secure and manageable way. This award confirms that our approach works and that we are on the right track.”
In 2025 Artific grew into one of the leading AI platforms in the Netherlands, with more than 100 customers including Basic-Fit, Hanos, Marktplaats, Veiligheidsregio Twente and Vechtstede Notarissen. The Artific platform was developed in Enschede, runs on Dutch soil and stands out for its privacy and security first approach and the ability to work with more than 35 different language models. This flexibility, combined with the GenAI Research Lab that is constantly exploring new possibilities, makes Artific a forward-looking partner for organisations that are serious about AI.
Ferran Rohaan, founder of Artific
“We see this award as a great confirmation, but above all as motivation to keep going. AI is evolving at breakneck speed and we will keep investing in research, development and in further professionalising our platform. Our goal remains unchanged: to make AI as accessible and reliable as possible for Dutch organisations.”
With this award, Artific positions itself even more firmly as a thought leader in the Dutch AI landscape. The company continues to grow and invest in innovation, with the aim of further accelerating AI adoption in the Netherlands and helping organisations genuinely improve their processes with AI.
