Web3 & AI Conference 🍌
Dutch Blockchain Week 2025 (DBW25), organized by the BCNL Foundation, returns for its sixth edition from May 19–25, 2025, as the Netherlands' premier Web3 and blockchain gathering. With the theme “The Next Chapter: Driven by Innovation and a Thriving Ecosystem of Partners,” DBW25 unites startups, corporates, developers, universities, and crypto pioneers to explore the future of decentralized technologies. The main event — Dutch Blockchain Summit — takes place on May 21–22 at De Meervaart, Amsterdam.
The week-long program features over 300 side events across the country, including hackathons, investor meetups, recruitment sessions, networking dinners, and the Dutch Blockchain Awards. Attendees will experience high-impact talks, panel discussions, workshops, and hands-on innovation from ecosystem leaders like ABN AMRO, Kaap West, and Euronext. One major highlight is the "Block & Order" hackathon, focusing on AI, compliance, and financial crime prevention.
Dutch Blockchain Week welcomes Web3 builders, enterprise innovators, VCs, regulators, and curious newcomers alike. Whether you’re looking to gain visibility, build partnerships, or stay ahead of the curve, DBW25 offers a dynamic and inspiring platform to connect and grow.
