The Bonaire Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KvK) has once again concluded the KvK Academy in an impressive way with the inspiring Tanki di Tribon event. During this festive finale, 18 talented (aspiring) entrepreneurs had the opportunity to present their businesses to an independent and expert jury.

In total, 38 entrepreneurs participated in the KvK Academy 2025. Eleven (11) modules were offered:

  1. Who is my customer
  2. My Value Proposition
  3. Marketing & Communication
  4. CRM – Customer Relationship Management
  5. Revenue Streams
  6. Key Resources
  7. The Perfect Pitch
  8. Stronger Together
  9. Taxes
  10. Financing
  11. Business Plan

New this year was a module in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) was offered for their business model.

The presentations were strong, creative, and diverse, making the jury’s decision especially challenging. Ultimately, the three most promising businesses were selected as winners:

Top 3 Businesses

  1. Flavorful Moment – Jurdine Felix
    Flavorful Moment was born out of pure passion: the desire to create moments that remain forever in memory and symbolize celebration on our island. Flavorful Moment comes to you to make any (children’s) party complete. They take care of everything—from decorations to all the treats in every color and size.
  2. Huma Trading – Ragnhild Isabella
    Huma Trading cultivates the authentic flavors and products of Bonaire. With Humá-Bar-B-Kuí, the company introduces an innovative way of BBQing, bringing people together through the island’s smoked flavors and a spirit of community. In this way, we keep Bonaire’s culture alive through taste, connection, and sustainability.
  3. La Belle Soiree – Ludvarina Valerio
    A romantic setting especially for couples who want to “reconnect” for a moment. Whether on the beach or on the Brandaris, La Belle Soiree can make any wish come true.

With the Tanki di Tribon event, the KvK not only celebrates the successful completion of the KvK Academy program but also the entrepreneurial spirit of all participants. The KvK congratulates all participants and looks forward to the continued growth of their businesses.

The KvK also extends its sincere appreciation to the Public Entity Bonaire (OLB), MCB Bonaire, Cactus Accounting Services, Rocargo Services, Bon Bida Gezondheidscentrum, TELBO N.V., City Shop, Obersi Electronics Bonaire and Nynedroid Driving School for their valuable sponsorship.
