Welcome at ndsm

NDSM in Amsterdam-Noord is a creative hotspot spanning no less than 10 hectares. What was once an industrial shipyard has become a vibrant area filled with makers, art, culture, hospitality, and innovative entrepreneurship. With impressive views, art in the public space, and plenty of freedom to explore, NDSM is the place where ideas grow and stories come together.
