NEW DUTCH WAVE ROLLS INTO SXSW 2020!

Join artists, innovators and thought leaders from around the world and turn your ideas into reality next March, as the New Dutch Wave rolls into SXSW 2020!

New Dutch Wave is the rocking trade-mission representing the Dutch creative and innovative industry at the global stage of South By Southwest.

The SXSW’20 theme: ‘Welcome to the Future’ inspired NDW to a brand new, made-to-measure formula. Customized for the unique bandwidth of SXSW, tailored to fit the needs of our participants. Building on our experience and network, NDW has designed a new grown-up SXSW format, moving out of the confinement of our the Dutch House, and venturing focused into the abundance of inspiration and opportunity that SXSW represents.

Experience 3-10 days of unparalleled discovery, learning, and networking with creatives across interactive, film, and music industries at the 2020 SXSW Conference & Festivals from March 13-22, 2020 in Austin, Texas.

The new NDW’20 trade-mission offers made-to-measure SXSW programs for individuals and groups representing the Dutch creative sector, governments, tech industry, health and life sciences, start ups, artists, innovators, inventors, explorers, adventurers and anyone who’s ready to expect the unexpected.

Collaborating with fellow international delegations (the EU House, the German House, the Canadian House, the Scandinavian House, etc.)

Opening doors for our NDW participants around the town. You’ll be present at relevant drinks, have access to the most inspirational talks, have one-on-one meetings with potential investors, be networking at tech companies and encounter both relevant as inspirational international business opportunities galore! As well as hang out with a group of likeminded individuals in what’s arguably the most inspirational destination for discovery as we know it.

This season NDW focus is to facilitate even more valuable connections for its participants. Our platform aims to enable you to navigate the huge offer of SXSW efficiently, balancing plenary networking with a personalized program, whilst leaving enough time to get lost and discover the magic of SXSW.

WHAT’S STOPPING YOU? JOIN THE WAVE!

New Dutch Wave presents 
ambitious entrepreneurs to an 
international audience and embraces
 the continuous innovation that is so stereotypical for,- and lovely about,
 the creative industry. For this, NDW creates meeting points to connect like-minded people from all over the world.

Just as our immaculate inception with a new style trade mission to SXSW 2017, NDW does not go to a specific country, but it is present at places where these people do business.

NDW has helped to connect many businesses, artists and entrepreneurs on an international level and will continue to do so.
