From 4 to 10 May 2026, Munich transformed into a vibrant hub for design, innovation, and creative exchange for the 15th time. Together, we discovered a new passion for design – playful, visionary, and with an eye on the pressing issues of our time.

For seven days, a wide range of event formats and installations took place across Munich, bringing design to life in all its facets. Our partners presented their ideas, projects, and perspectives to an international audience. In May, mcbw provided the creative platform for this exchange – an inspiring backdrop for the entire design community.

The munich creative business week takes place every year in May. During 7 days of mcbw, the creative scene meets in Munich to learn about the latest trends, technologies and innovations in the various design disciplines, to exchange ideas and to network.

Planning and implementing the largest design event in Germany is only possible with strong partners at our side. We try to offer almost all events during the 7 days of mcbw free of charge in order to make participation possible for all interested parties. A big thank you goes to our supporters, sponsors, media partners, program partners and network partners who make mcbw what it is today!
