T500

Let’s celebrate you!

Your talent recognized

The past couple of years have been a crazy and different time for all of us. We’ve been asked to adjust, pivot, show up, and shelter in place… But it’s starting to look like 2022 is the year we can finally start living our best lives again. And who better to celebrate with than the drivers of progress, those who hold the future of tech in the palm of their hands… the ambitious young talent of the Dutch digital scene!

We’re so happy to announce that for the fifth time, we’ll be shortlisting 500 people, under the age of 26, who have shown outstanding accomplishments in the digital tech space. There will be multiple judges looking through the answers that you provide, judging on criteria like relevant work experience, side projects, education, personal accomplishments, and your personal webpage. The T500 members will be invited to TNW Conference 2022!

Applications have closed. Applicants will hear if they made it onto the list around May 14.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
