As a new media partner, Kingstreet connects entrepreneurs from diverse sectors and cultures during one of the most festive evenings of The Hague business life. The Entrepreneurs' Gala will take place on Saturday 28 March 2026 and will be held for the 19th time in the Atrium of The Hague City Hall on the Spui. The gala is organised by initiators the Municipality of The Hague, ROC Mondriaan, Rabobank The Hague and DB Events.

Students

During the evening, culinary captain Marc Smeets will guide students from ROC Mondriaan, who will be active both in the kitchen and in service. Kingstreet Magazine will be prominently present with its own table, welcoming ten guests from The Hague-based and international entrepreneurial network.

“Kingstreet Magazine is relevant throughout the year and, like us, speaks to a broad community of entrepreneurs,” says Peter Boelhouwer, co-founder of the Ondernemersgala The Hague and director of DB Evenementen. “With both a Dutch and an English edition, the magazine is a natural fit for The Hague as an international city. This partnership allows us to connect an international community to the gala, which I see as a real added value. We are proud to welcome Kingstreet as our media partner for the years ahead.”

According to Annerieke Simeone, publisher of Kingstreet Magazine, the Ondernemersgala is a natural match:
“The Ondernemersgala The Hague reflects what this city stands for: ambition, connection and entrepreneurship. At Kingstreet, we tell the stories behind entrepreneurs, makers and tastemakers throughout the year, both local and international. The fact that we will quite literally be sitting at the same table during the gala feels like a fitting expression of our philosophy.”

Alongside networking and gastronomy, the Ondernemersgala The Hague supports social initiatives in the city each year. In 2026, the chosen charities are My Lima Lima, which empowers young people through fashion and social projects, and Stichting Vitalis, offering children and young people aged 5 to 18 a listening ear and positive guidance. Through the proceeds of the gala, the entrepreneurial community contributes to a stronger and more inclusive The Hague.
