Amare Next & Young Siemens

Since 2023 Siemens Nederland has joined the Amare Member Club, the business network of Amare's cultural center in The Hague. For decades, Siemens has contributed to arts, culture, and the development of young talent in The Hague, the city where the tech company has had its home since 1891. By supporting Amare, Siemens contributes to the realization of a diverse program at this beautiful theater in the heart of the city, offering unforgettable evenings for residents of The Hague and beyond.

Combining the cultural and corporate world
The young colleagues at Siemens, united under Young Siemens, play a leading role in the collaboration with Amare. Together they are co-hosting a new event, Amare Next. This event focuses on young professionals and aims to combine the cultural and corporate world. Jochem Mark, chairman of Young Siemens, says: "The diversity of arts and culture that come together at Amare is incredibly inspiring and complements our existing activities perfectly. The location at the Spui is fantastic. We look forward to a wonderful evening with valuable networking moments."

Practical information
