DutchCulture is a platform for international cultural cooperation. It provides information, insights and advice on cross-border cultural collaboration, and runs the Creative Europe Desk NL, the TransArtists platform for artist residencies, a public Cultural Database, and an Advice Desk for questions on funding, visas, permits and taxation.

It serves cultural and creative professionals, organisations, provincial and municipal governments, and the Dutch diplomatic network, including embassies and consulates. DutchCulture is the Dutch government's partner in implementing international cultural policy and receives a four-year subsidy from the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as support from the European Commission for its European programmes.

It manages funds and programmes such as Europe + Heritage and the International Heritage Cooperation Matching Fund, and organises meetings, knowledge sessions and visitor programmes. Its ENCOUNTERS event and the Domo home for international cultural collaboration are scheduled in Amsterdam in November 2026.
