The Mission Days programme features contributions from our professional network of participants and partners such as CLICK NL, PONT, World Design Embassies, Design United, and interCHANGES.
Each day consists of three segments where deepening, inspiring, and marvelling converge:
- Morning Sessions
A morning programme with substantial events for professionals.
You can register per session. More information will follow soon. Is the session private? If so, let us know via email that you would like to attend, and we will explore the possibilities. - Afternoon Tours
An afternoon programme with undivided attention for Dutch Design Week exhibitions by related participating designers through an organised tour or self-discovery with a list of tips and highlights.
More about Tours → - DDW at Night
An evening programme full of music, dinners, surprising events, and more.
We have brought the Morning Sessions together at one location (Natlab, Eindhoven) and focused on a different mission each weekday of Dutch Design Week. This ensures audiences with similar interests can actively meet and exchange knowledge and expertise.
Monday, 21 October | LIVING ENVIRONMENT
Designing our living environment, mobility and the materials we use to create them goes hand-in-hand with shaping our own quality of life.

Tuesday, 22 October | THRIVING PLANET
For a vital, healthy planet, design must enhance the power of nature, or at the very least not stand in its way.

Wednesday, 23 October | DIGITAL FUTURE
Our digital realities and future are being explored to the full and influenced by designers, from virtual worlds to artificial intelligence and from global platforms to individual experiences.

Thursday, 24 October | HEALTH & WELL-BEING
Designs that structurally improve our quality of life – from the food we eat to healthcare and personal well-being – and that contribute to the most precious thing we have: our health.
With Morning Sessions featuring contributions from, among others, Embassy of Food, Embassy of Health, CLICK NL, PONT and DesignUnited.
Friday, 25 October | EQUAL SOCIETY
To achieve equality in society, we must (re)design systems and interactions that value everyone. Safety, inclusiveness and connection are key here.
