mcbw Design Summit 2024

It was a great pleasure moderating the mcbw Design Summit 2024 as part of the munich creative business week, the largest design event in Germany that took place over the course of nine days in Munich.

The munich creative business week was all around the theme “How to co-create with nature”. Throughout the summit we discussed design approaches within the four main focus areas how we can re-learn from nature, how to re-generate for the benefit of nature, how to co-work and collaborate with nature, all the way to un-limit and how to merge nature and technology.

I really enjoyed our discussions on stage with the renowned architect Stefano Boeri, Daniela Bohlinger from BMW Group, Maurizio Montalti from SQIM, Tom Kortbeek from Fillip Studios and Laura Kiesewetter from the Institute for Computational Design and Construction, as well as our initial discussion with the mcbw Advisory Board Prof. Dr. Angelika Nollert from the Die Neue Sammlung –The Design Museum, Dr. Dewi Schönbeck from Steelcase, Boris Kochan, President of the Deutscher Designtag, Prof. Markus Frenzl from Hochschule München, an Holger Hampf from Designworks, A BMW Group Company
