Amsterdam: a world city? Yes, but also small, quaint and strong-minded. Home to Johan Cruijff, Rembrandt, Ajax, the Red Light District, the Dutch East India Company and marijuana. The capital of the Netherlands. A 1000-year-old trading city that has a special relationship with water and a strong focus on entrepreneurship, creativity, citizenship and free-thinking. In the monumental Amsterdam Museum building you will discover the story of Amsterdam through a large number of masterpieces, such as an aerial map from the Middle Ages and Breitner's The Dam. See, read about, hear and experience how the city has developed in the Amsterdam Museum.

Stichting NDSM-werf faciliteert een gezamenlijke visie: ‘Werk aan de Werf’ en neemt daarin verantwoordelijkheid voor beheer en programmering van de werf. Deze laatste twee zijn geen doel op zich, maar een middel om het laboratorium NDSM-werf te creëren. Een laboratorium voor werken, beleven en wonen.

Pakhuis de Zwijger is the independent institute in Amsterdam for social innovation & creation. As a progressive driver of urban change, we produce impact projects, creative content and over more than 600 live programs per year concerning themes on the creative industry, sustainability, diversity, economy and democracy. Pakhuis de Zwijger is a platform that is all about inspiring discussions, connections, creativity, bottom-up initiatives and innovation. The magic does not only happen on stage; the discussions and unexpected connections that follow are key for building the PDZ platform with new partnerships, festivals, research projects and social impact initiatives. Since PDZ opened its doors in September 2006, it has grown a big community that tunes in on a regular basis for network meetings, lectures, discussions and workshops that are linked to creation and social innovation.
