Handpicked X TURF: Where creativity, technology, and Breda come together

  • TURF 2025
  • Tech
An event like TURF, where creativity, innovation, and technology come together, suits Handpicked like no other. The event is all about what drives this collective of creative and technological agencies: connecting people, ideas, and disciplines, all united by a shared passion for progress.

“TURF feels like coming home to us, because it’s about what Handpicked itself is: the connection between creativity, technology, and people,” explains Daphne, event and community manager at Handpicked. “Breda is the city where we started, where our agencies collaborate every day, and where so much creative talent is present. TURF gathers all that energy in one place, in our own backyard.”

The power of collaboration

What makes Handpicked special is the way collaboration is at the core. Within the network, 300 experts from twelve specialized agencies combine their knowledge of design, development, data, and digital marketing. Together, they work towards one mission: driving brands forward with creative technology. 
"The cross-pollination is what defines us,” Daphne says.

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

Daphne from Handpicked

TURF is important for Handpicked because it brings together everything we believe in: creativity, technology, and collaboration, with Breda as the beating heart.

Stronger together for Breda

TURF is not just about innovation, but also about connection. By collaborating with other creative and technological partners in Breda, something bigger than the sum of its parts is created. In this way, the event not only strengthens the community but also enhances Breda's position as a 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 otherwise never have come about."

The next generation of creators

For Handpicked, TURF is also the perfect opportunity to meet new talent. By literally opening the doors, students and young creators have the chance to see what is happening in the world of creative technology.

"It's a moment to inspire," calls Daphne. "To show what is possible and why Breda is the place to do it."
