Welcome to SCOPES — the Dutch edition
As we told you in our latest blogpost about Porsche at The Next Web Conference, Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is one of the hottest technology and startup hubs in Europe — and of course a city that has innovation in its roots. That’s why we’re attending #TNW2019 with partners and tech talks about E-Performance, Digital Business, Design and Connectivity.
But Amsterdam is also a city with a rich history and a highly diverse population from 180 different backgrounds enjoying a broad range of arts and culture. From Rembrandt or Vincent Van Gogh all the way to an exciting contemporary art, club and diverse music scene, this city is the perfect fit for SCOPES, driven by Porsche. A space for you and your ideas.
With SCOPES, we created a platform where visions of young driven minds are heard and seen — located on the Veronica Ship in Amsterdam for two weeks. And the best: Tickets are for free.
After our premiere in Berlin, SCOPES is part of the creative scene in Amsterdam this May to start a creators collective with a lasting impact. Our vision: Every partner and event leaves its mark or a story behind and evolves SCOPES Amsterdam each day as an ongoing journey creating a unique experience.
Here are 5 things you need to know about SCOPES:
1. The experience
Time well spent is time spent with people who not only have something to say, but actions to share. At SCOPES you get to know a hand-picked bunch of pacesetters who all celebrate their visions of the future.
2. The course
While capturing the Veronica Ship in Amsterdam, a location brimming with character and history, SCOPES Amsterdam focuses on design and innovation for its Dutch edition during The Next Web Conference.
3. The crew
During two condensed weeks in mellow May, different protagonists of the Dutch creative industries will become skippers for a day and leave another mark or two on this monolith of culture.
4. The engine
SCOPES presents innovative Porsche topics and the people who drive the brand forward every day. A multisensory 3D-sound and light installation introduces the Mission E — the concept car for the first fully electric Porsche.
5. The place
The Veronica Ship has been used since the 1960s as an unlicensed, non-commercial radio station and has long been a stronghold of Amsterdam’s artistic scenes.
SCOPES — Event recommendations for the next days

Being supported by our dear friends from HotMamaHot Catering, we’re having a special live performance from Brass Rave Unit and DJ Boj Tieman. We’re looking forward to a good vibration on the ship. Come by and join us for a dance from live music to hot food and free beer.
