annual reports
Every year, the Creative Industries Fund NL publishes an annual report, in which we map out the results and outline the various projects that were realized with the support of a grant. In the annual report we additionally zoom in on the most important themes.
Annual Report 2025
We look back on a year in which, with renewed grant schemes and procedures, we were able to support nearly 700 projects by individual makers and cultural institutions. From small-scale personal practices to large institutions, from crafts to digital development, and from design-based research to international collaborations. Each and every project contributes to strengthening the Dutch design field.
In 2025, the Fund was internally restructured into four programme teams: Development, Digital Culture, Design, and Architecture. Each team works on its own programmes, encompassing grant schemes and open calls in the areas of internationalisation, talent development, design-based research, and professional and artistic development. This allows cross-connections to be made across the various programmes, enabling our schemes and open calls to better respond to needs from the field.
This year too, we showcase the power of design through five video portraits of Jos Klarenbeek, Post Neon, De Wachtkamer, AIR and Kaarkhaney.
