Munich Creative Business Week (mcbw)

To kick off MCBW on 10 May, WDC 2026 will be present at the DIVE conference, organised by Deutsche Designtag e. V. and a cooperation partner of WDC 2026. In addition to a panel discussion, the workshop truck will offer an opportunity for exchange in the courtyard of FAT CAT (former cultural centre Gasteig). On 11 and 12 May, the workshop truck will be stationed at HP 8 by the river Isar, and on 13 May, Drinks for Democracy will take place at the Munich pub Rennsalon (Baldestraße), accompanied by a WDC programme preview at 19:00 and 20:30.

Starting in Spring 2025, World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026 will be touring nationally and internationally, presenting its programme preview Looking Forward – das Morgen gemeinsam gestalten. In the coming months, the versatile programme for 2026 will be presented at various design fairs, exhibitions, conferences and design events, thereby focussing on the design potential of Frankfurt RheinMain for a future worth experiencing, showcasing the region as a center for innovative design and expanding international partnerships.
