What makes Handpicked special is the way collaboration is at the heart of everything. Within the network, 300 experts from twelve specialised agencies pool their knowledge of design, development, data, and digital marketing. Together, they work towards one mission: to advance brands with creative technology. 
“That cross-pollination is what defines us,” says Daphne.

Daphne: “We want to demonstrate how technology can become more human and how creativity guides what technology can mean. We hope that people will become curious. That they feel this is a place where ideas are born, where they are surprised by what is possible. A place where students, professionals, and creators come together.”

TURF is not just about innovation, but also about connection. By collaborating with other creative and technological partners in Breda, something greater than the sum of its parts emerges. In this way, the event not only strengthens the community but also consolidates Breda's position as the City of Solutions.

“TURF demonstrates how strong Breda is when we work together instead of side by side,” says Daphne. “By sharing knowledge and initiatives, projects and opportunities arise that might not have come about otherwise.”
