The focus on innovation, experiment and crossovers is what makes DDW so exciting and that's what you feel at Strijp-S. Visit Mind the Step and other exhibitions in the Klokgebouw and see how design, thanks to research and technology, plays an important role in the society of the future. The impressive Veemgebouw also provides a stage for young designers and innovative ideas. Outside, on Ketelhuisplein, you will find a variety of exhibitions, DDW Music acts and fancy food concepts.
