Thanks to you, we can look back on an incredibly exciting munich creative business week, which once again showed us what creative synergies can achieve. For nine days, a wide variety of contributions on the topic of design shed light on this year's motto "How to co-create with nature". The figures also speak for themselves again this year. With around 65,000 visitors, munich creative business week is and remains the largest design event in Germany. It is precisely because of this concentrated design power, the inspiring buzz and the wonderful outcome that we organise mcbw every year full of motivation. Time to say thank you! Thank you for your participation, your contributions and your never-ending commitment to thinking about our future and playing a part in our unstoppable desire to make a positive contribution.

How can we (re)learn to live, manage and design together with nature? This year's mcbw design summit 2024 was all about nature as a co-creator. Together with the Italian architect and mcbw creative explorer 2024 Stefano Boeri, as well as many other internationally renowned speakers, we presented innovative design approaches and put nature centre stage.

With "Turning Point", Blackspace has created an installation for the mcbw public space at Kunstareal on behalf of bayern design that takes up the 2024 motto "How to co-create with nature" and calls on people to celebrate nature together. Michael Keller, Managing Director of Blackspace: "It's time for something to change. Nature can exist without man, but man cannot live without nature".
