In response to the second Open Call Building Talent for experienced design agencies, the Fund received 49 diverse proposals from across the creative industry. The applications were submitted for advice to an independent selection committee consisting of Tanja Koning (independent curator and programmer), Joost Emmerik (urban designer, landscape architect), Ward Janssen (curator of digital and visual culture), Lotte van Laatum (independent product designer), Iris Ruisch (managing director M-ODE), Marcel Schouwenaar (The Incredible Machine), Michael Snitker (product designer and creative technologist) and Esther Verra (talent development TETEM).

They selected 35 solid proposals, with relevant tasks that align well with their own expertise and are important for the design field. The selected design agencies offer starting designers and makers a place where they can gain knowledge and experience and expand their network, where they receive adequate guidance, and where there is also room for their own input and a different sound from a new generation.
