Open Call for New Generation Design leaders shaping a Circular Future! Submit your application to the What Design Can Do Accelerator 2025 by 7 April for an opportunity to join our global network of innovators. Winners enter a dedicated online programme to bring their projects to the next level. Our accelerator programme supports initiatives with established social or creative enterprises that use design as a transformative tool to create sustainable impact and drive regenerative growth, contributing to a circular society. The programme is shaped around three main verticals; Creativity (mindset), Entrepreneurship (toolset), and Leadership (skillset) for impact. The centre of the programme is an intense Sprint Week, where representatives from each team gather in Amsterdam to connect and learn from each other in person. Throughout the five-day programme, winners share their stories, set their intentions, meet their mentors, visit studios of Dutch designers and changemakers and join various masterclasses by selected experts in circular design, strategy and entrepreneurship.
