Driving Dutch Design: young designers from programme’s latest edition present themselves
- Sponsorship
Designers are not always naturals when it comes to business skills. In the past year, the Driving Dutch Design programme has helped another crop of budding design talents – the third since its launch in 2012 - develop their entrepreneurial side. During Dutch Design Week, the participants present themselves to the general public in the exhibition Momentum, and pitch to potential clients at the business event Drivers 2015.
, an initiative of ABN AMRO, the Association of Dutch Designers (BNO) and the organisers of Dutch Design Week, is a programme to introduce budding design talents to the world of business. ABN AMRO gives each of them a personal coach, and over a 10-month period, they get a chance to participate in master classes and co-creation sessions to help them take their businesses to the next level.
Climax

Between 17 and 25 October the results of their sessions are on display in the exhibition , a Collaboration of Young Entrepreneurs.
