The 11th edition of the Vienna Design Week will take place September 29 - October 8, featuring more than 100 events all over the city.
"We have achieved a great deal in the first ten years! We are motivated by the outstanding public response and the international recognition," commented Lilli Hollein, Festival Director. "The study commissioned last year also provides evidence of the effects of the festival in various industrial and economic sectors. Nevertheless, we still have quite a bit of work to do and know very well where we want to go, what we want to achieve. A nation of innovation like Austria needs an entrepreneurial landscape that recognises and exploits the value of creative achievements. And creative people will always need an internationally active platform."
Vienna Design Week is noted for its curated contents and innovative character, also for its endeavors to link up the various disciplines - a special focus is placed on the connection of design and industry. Thus the festival has established itself as a constantly growing network of creative people and business enterprises from home and abroad, which moreover is supported and used by leading players from culture, the economy and the media.
