Thank you! - Highlight Festival 2026

Highlight Festival 2026 has officially come to an end, and we’re still buzzing! From 11–14 February, Delft transformed into a living playground of robots, art and technology. Together with thousands of visitors, artists, researchers, students and partners, we explored this year’s theme Robo-Futures across the entire city.

From robotic installations in public space and live research, to intimate performances and our in-depth symposium, you made this edition come alive.

We saw you wandering between hubs, diving into installations, dancing at the Closing Party, asking sharp questions at the ROBO-DEPOT, and sharing moments of wonder.
