Dutch Design Foundation is convinced that designers provide an essential contribution to making our world a more beautiful, sustainable and social place. We are optimistic but we also recognise the current issues and how serious they are. We believe in the forward thinking and action of designers and create space for this in the following programmes:

Co/Labs

Circular Energy Grid

[[Open call]] Alliander invites designers to join a new Co/Lab to explore how circular thinking and doing can become the norm within the energy infrastructure of the future.

Tech Talent Unlocked

[[OPEN CALL]] In collaboration with Stichting Jeugd & Beroep, we explore how young people (ages 9–14) can be introduced to a future in technology in a positive and engaging way.

Commissioned by Earth

What if earth were your client? In this Co/Lab, Sweco and Fillip Studios challenge themselves and each other to take that question seriously and translate it into tangible design.
