Driving Dutch Design

Driving Dutch Design is the professionalization and networking program of the Dutch design sector that helps motivated designers on their way in the world of creative entrepreneurship. The organization is in the hands of the BNO and the program is supported by Stichting Stokroos and the Cultuurfonds, thanks in part to the Ahrend Fonds.

Driving Dutch Design has been coaching creative entrepreneurs since 2013. Besides information, knowledge and skills, the program offers a network, insights from others and attention to the soft skills needed for a successful creative practice. In recent years we have supported more than 250 studios, one-person businesses, duos and other creative enterprises with a program that has proven itself and that has been developed considerably.

After their participation, participants automatically join Club DDD. Club DDD is committed to further development, continued learning, collaboration and sharing each other’s networks. Club DDD organizes the annual Club DDD Festival where all the graduates of Driving Dutch Design come together for a varied and inspiring program of workshops, lectures, music, a creative market and more.
