How we work together

WDC 2026 thrives on collaboration with stakeholders from the Frankfurt RheinMain region. These can include cultural institutions, universities, businesses, foundations, associations, collectives or individuals.

Projects

The projects were submitted as part of the 2024 Open Call (and through other calls for proposals). They come from individuals, organizations, universities, and more. The projects were selected, among others, by a panel of experts. A complete list of project initiators will be published soon.

Cooperations

The goal of cooperations is to integrate existing institutions and organizations from the region, along with their infrastructures and programs, into WDC 2026.

Partnerships (Sponsorships)

Companies can showcase their innovative strength, social responsibility, and economic vision—while connecting with global stakeholders.
