Entrepreneurs test innovations during SAIL and Marathon
Public events like SAIL and the Marathon draw millions of visitors to Amsterdam. These events often take place in central locations where large crowds gather. As a result, various logistical arrangements need to be made, such as providing food and drinks, public toilets, and temporary modifications to streets. These situations pose sustainability and accessibility challenges for the city. However, they also make these events ideal testing grounds for innovations.

Testing with the city and event organizers
The In Residence program offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to test their innovations during public events. They work closely with event organizers, the City of Amsterdam, and an experienced mentor. Additionally, funding is available to support the pilot. If the innovation proves to benefit the city, the municipality may purchase it after the program.
Applications are open from October 1 to November 17. Selected entrepreneurs will prepare their pilot in early 2025, and most pilots will take place during the summer events, especially during SAIL 2025.
Apply via the website: https://innovatiepartners.nl/project/in-residence-open-evenementen-2025

Amsterdam 750th anniversary year
This is the second round of the In Residence Events program. During the 2024 event season, nine entrepreneurs tested their innovations, including at Pride Week, the Marathon, and the Dam tot Dam Run. If successful, innovations from both rounds of the program may be implemented during the events of Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary celebrations.

Embassy of Digital Futures organiseert een expositie op de Dutch Design Week 2024 over superpowers & escaping the algorithm. Op de conferentie: “Balanceren tussen Utopie en Dystopie” gaan we op zoek naar handelingsperspectief.

Er is de laatste tijd veel aandacht voor de polarisatie, mentale gezondheid van jongeren en de toenemende invloed van de big tech. De Embassy of Digital Futures gaat in op de vraag hoe we de ontwikkeling van digitale toekomsten kunnen beïnvloeden. Deze toekomsten bieden een beeld van hoop en nieuwe mogelijkheden. Er komen ‘superpowers’ tot onze beschikking! Deze superpowers hebben echter ook een keerzijde.

Onder het motto "Escape the algorithm" zoeken we naar het handelingsperspectief en verkennen we de ingrediënten voor de volgende vraag in onze zoektocht naar digitale toekomsten.

Na een presentatie van o.a. Koert van Mensvoort verdiepen we ons in de expo van ontwerpers; Julia Janssen, Leonore Snoek, Mayra Kapteijn en Bas Sala waarna een paneldiscussie volgt met onder meer Martijn de Waal, Marcel Thaens en Mieke van Heesewijk.
