Dutch Innovation Days

Dutch Innovation Days 2024: Transmission. The national innovation festival Dutch Innovation Days will take place in Enschede for the fourth time this year!

On Thursday, May 30 and Friday, May 31, 2024, two days of curious people will gather at two locations: the Grote Kerk on the Oude Markt and theater de Kleine Willem. This year's theme is Transmission: switch, pause or switch back. Scientists, artists, inventors and creative entrepreneurs will present their ideas, experiences and concepts for a better world. Enter into dialogue with them and be inspired.

Personal questions take center stage: what is your mission for change? How can you contribute to transformation? And who do you want to connect with to take your next step? This year we have chosen an intimate, informal setting that allows you to really engage with the speakers and each other. This also means that space is limited.

If you want to be sure of a spot, buy your ticket here.
