Thomas Jäger
Lead Corporate Partnerships and Cooperations
WDC 2026 presents a unique opportunity for the Frankfurt RheinMain region to position itself internationally as an economic, creative and socially responsible hub. With over 400,000 companies, universities, research institutions and creative professionals, we offer immense innovation potential – ready to be showcased and further developed within this framework.
The benefits for businesses are vast: The global attention that comes with the title strengthens not only the brand image of individual companies but also elevates the entire region. Beyond finance and trade, Frankfurt RheinMain will be recognised as a centre for design, innovation and future-oriented economic models. Companies will have the opportunity to showcase their innovation, social responsibility and economic visions while connecting with global players.
The initiative also provides an opportunity to address business challenges – such as skills shortages, work-life balance, energy policy or infrastructure – through design in collaborative projects, developing sustainable solutions.
Economic Stability & Planning Security: Democracy ensures fair conditions (rule of law, market access). Sustainable business models enhance social acceptance and long-term success.
Innovation & Competitiveness: Democratic values (diversity, participation) drive innovation. Employee involvement strengthens motivation and creativity.
Social Responsibility & Brand Image: Sustainability is a competitive advantage (consumers prioritise ethical values). Companies gain visibility as forward-thinking actors.
Strengthening the Local Economic Ecosystem: Regional partnerships create spaces for innovation and economic resilience. Example: Collaborations between industry and start-ups to develop sustainable technologies.
Even in 2025, WDC 2026 will be actively present on major international design stages and trade fairs, providing opportunities for businesses to participate as well.
