AUSTIN, TX — In the cacophony of the times, do you ever long to rise above the din to find out what the Dutch are up to these days? If that's you, Monday is your lucky day.

The "New Dutch Wave" is scheduled to launch officially at SXSW on Monday, March 12, launching a space where Dutch entrepreneurs, artists, start-ups, creative folks and politicians will present themselves to new, relevant audiences.
