[Amsterdam, 15th December 2025] — Nikon BioImaging Lab Europe (NBIL) is delighted to announce that it has been honoured with the prestigious Deshima Award in the “Newcomer” category. The award recognizes NBIL’s innovative approach, ambitious growth plans, future investments, and the positive impact and added value the company brings to the regional economy.
The Deshima Awards celebrate the enduring trade relationship between Japan and the Netherlands, drawing their name from the historic Japanese island of Deshima, which served as a Dutch trading post from 1641 to 1854. Established in 2007 by the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA) and the Dutch & Japanese Trade Federation (DUJAT), the awards highlight the significance of Japanese investment in the Netherlands and honour companies that contribute to economic development and bilateral relations.
“We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition, which underscores our commitment to innovation and investment in the Netherlands. This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication of our talented team and the support of our partners,” said Ziryan Othman.
Congratulations to the entire NBIL team for this outstanding accomplishment!
