About Us

The Curaçao International Sportsweek was launched in 2023 as an initiative of FDDK, under the leadership of Managing Director Vergilly Winklar.

We connect, we inspire. This is more than a conference — it’s about bringing awareness and opportunities to the island I deeply love.

With a vision to raise fitness and sports awareness across the island, Sportsweek was created to inspire our community while attracting international investors and partners to Curaçao.

What makes Sportsweek unique is that it’s more than just a conference — it’s a week-long celebration of sports, innovation, and collaboration every November. The program combines inspiring talks and networking sessions with exciting sporting events, showcasing both local talent and international expertise.

Our Mission

Our mission is to connect people, elevate Curaçao’s sports facilities, and bring innovative projects to life — keeping the island active, healthy, and motivated.

Our Vission

Thanks to the passion of our team, the dedication of our sponsors, and the support of our community, the Curaçao International Sportsweek has become a must-attend event.
