From writing tools and smartphone apps to entire city districts, design is the foundation for the products, spaces, and processes with which we live and work. Design influences our communities as much as our future. Our mission at bayern design is to ensure that design remains strong. We bring creative professionals, companies, policymakers, and the public together. Design connects.
We are committed to design because it takes people and their needs into consideration while sustainably shaping the economy, society, and the environment. Design safeguards the success of products, services, and brands, improves our daily lives, and can contribute to a responsible, resource-conscious future. We at bayern design promote, connect, and inspire – through munich creative business week (mcbw), Social Design Days in Nuremberg, and many other exciting projects.

Design is an integral part of business. It drives competitiveness and supports regional viability, which is one of our goals at bayern design. However, this knowledge is not new: It dates back to the launch of trade museums and trade fairs in the 19th century, such as Nuremberg’s Museum of Applied Arts and exhibitions at the Munich Glass Palace.
Great Britain took a paramount step towards the modern advancement of design in the midst of a plight: In 1944, the government recognized the importance of design in times of upheaval. To promote innovation in an era of austerity and major change, it had the Design Council established in London. Never before had design been acknowledged officially in economic policy as a key factor in managing economic, social, and sustainable transformation.
During the post-war economic boom, design centers surged in many West German states, modeled after this example; their role was to provide information on design and build networks.
In Bavaria, the ministry of economic affairs began intensifying the promotion of design in the 1980s in cooperation with Designforum in Nuremberg and Design Zentrum in Munich. In 2001, bayern design GmbH was founded with the goal to support design throughout the state. Today, munich creative business week (mcbw), established in 2012, and other formats are testimony to our work that has continued since the era of industrialization.
