The Dutch Design Fashion Architecture (DutchDFA) programme, which runs from 2009 until 2012, aims to strengthen the international position of the three Dutch creative disciplines on a long-term basis by joining forces within the field. DutchDFA is a unique collaboration between public and private partners, drawing together representatives of the Dutch Ministries of Economic Affairs, of Education, Culture & Science and of Foreign Affairs, sector-specific organisations such as Premsela and the Netherlands Architecture Institute, as well as the Office of the Chief Government Architect, and professional associations including the Association of Dutch Designers (BNO), the Royal Institute of Dutch Architects (BNA), the Association of Dutch Interior Architects (BNI) and MODINT (trade association for fashion, interior design, carpets and textiles), as well as the Dutch creative hubs of Amsterdam, Arnhem, Eindhoven, Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague.
