Discover the power of design at Dutch Design Week with a Design Tour
How can design and creativity drive innovation within your organisation? At Dutch Design Week (DDW), discover how designers develop new ideas, smart solutions and approaches to societal challenges. A Design Tour offers you the opportunity to experience the power of design together with colleagues, your team or business partners, and explore what design thinking or a design-led approach could mean for your organisation.
From 23 to 31 October 2027, Eindhoven will once again host Dutch Design Week, one of Europe's largest design events. Over nine days, designers, businesses and knowledge institutions will present groundbreaking projects, experiments and innovations. From new materials and technologies to solutions addressing challenges in sustainability, health and our living environment. DDW demonstrates that design goes far beyond the appearance of products: it's a way of looking at challenges differently, questioning existing systems and discovering new possibilities.
Design is everywhere. From the chair you're sitting on to the algorithm that determines what you see online. From the app you use to plan your journey to the way a hospital is organised. From new materials and smart technologies to social initiatives that bring people closer together.
What is a Design Tour?
A Design Tour helps you get even more out of your visit. Led by an expert Design Guide, you'll explore a carefully curated selection of projects and exhibitions. You'll hear the stories behind the designs, gain insights into innovative approaches and, where possible, engage directly with the designers. This gives you a deeper understanding of what's happening in the world of design and how creative perspectives and new ways of thinking can be relevant to your sector, organisation or everyday work.
A Design Tour is therefore much more than a guided tour. It's an inspiring experience that offers fresh insights, sparks conversations and creates opportunities for knowledge exchange and collaboration. Whether you're looking for fresh ideas with colleagues, exploring new perspectives with your management team or bringing business partners together in a unique setting.
Explore a specific DDW area with an Area Tour, dive deeper into societal and economic challenges with a Mission Tour, or choose a Custom Tour tailored to your organisation's interests, ambitions and challenges.
