ABOUT US

WHAT IS THE NEXT WAVE?

The Next Wave is an urban experience where design, art, culture, and innovation merge into one unforgettable celebration.
We shine a light on young entrepreneurship in fashion, art, lifestyle, and more through our pop-up market filled with creativity and fresh energy.

Meanwhile, you can vibe to the sounds of talented R&B, hip-hop, afro, amapiano, and house DJs.
It’s a full experience — a celebration of creativity, connection, and the voice of the next generation.

OUR MISSION

The mission of The Next Wave is to provide a powerful platform for young entrepreneurs, artists, and creatives, with a strong focus on collective growth. The event aims to bridge the worlds of entrepreneurship and music together within an authentic urban setting.

The Next Wave creates a dynamic space where local talent can shine and where the youth is inspired to embrace, support and shape the next generation of creativity.

WIE ZIJN WIJ​

“The Next Wave” is een initiatief ontstaan uit de passie van een jong en dynamisch team bestaande uit 5 vrouwen, allen studenten Event- en Projectmanagement. Wat begon als onze bachelor proef, zien we nu als een veelbelovend project met grotere ambities. 

Als een divers team streven we ernaar om de Antwerpse samenleving te weerspiegelen en inspiratie te bieden aan de jeugd. Onze verscheidenheid is de kracht van The Next Wave.  

We nodigen brands, artiesten, kunstenaars en The Youth Of Antwerp uit om deel uit te maken van deze opkomende golf van creativiteit. “The Next Wave” begint in Antwerpen, maar onze dromen rijken verder. 

ABOUT US

The Next Wave is a non-profit organization founded by two young women who share a background in event and project management. Driven by a shared dream of entrepreneurship and a passion for creating meaningful events, we launched this initiative to empower young entrepreneurs and boost creative talent through dynamic events that we organize from A to Z.
