This year, Dawn Technology is a proud sponsor of vanĀ Hoek tot Helder. During the eighth edition of one of the most unique kitesurfing events in Europe, sports, perseverance, and social impact come together. The participants embark on an impressive journey along the Dutch coast while raising funds for the Heart Foundation.
During this unique journey, hundreds of kitesurfers will cover more than 130 kilometers from Hoek van Holland to Den Helder. Wind, waves, currents, and weather conditions make each edition different and demand the utmost from participants. The journey is not only a physical challenge but also a mental test where preparation, experience, and perseverance are essential.
The eighth edition of Hoek to Helder will take place within the wind window from August 22 to November 1, 2026. The final start day will be determined by the conditions at sea, with safety always being the top priority. It is precisely this dependence on wind and weather that makes each edition unique.
In ten years, Hoek to Helder has grown into the bucket list event for kitesurfers from all over Europe. But behind this athletic achievement lies a greater purpose. All participants raise sponsorship funds for the Heart Foundation, contributing to research, prevention, and better care for people with cardiovascular diseases.
Thus, Hoek to Helder is much more than just a sporting event. It is a unique combination of adventure, community, and social impact. That is exactly why Dawn Technology proudly supports this initiative.
At Dawn Technology, we believe that technology helps people move forward. However, social engagement is equally important to us. Hoek to Helder demonstrates what is possible when people work together toward a common goal. Perseverance, collaboration, and impact are central. Values that also play an important role within our organization.
With our sponsorship, we want to contribute to the success of this unique initiative and draw attention to the important work of the Heart Foundation.
