Our shortlist of 40 pioneering entrepreneurs is now

THE LAUNCH

The Launch of The Green Design Competition took place at the DDW HQ’s on the 29th of October 2011 during the 10th, and thus jubilee edition of Dutch Design Week. Leading speakers such as Jurgen Bey (Ambassador of The Green Design Competition), Hans Robertus (director of Dutch Design Week), Paul Vetter (Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation) and Christiaan Maats (founder of OAT shoes) shared their vision on future-oriented design.
