From museums to tiny galleries, from start-ups to global players, from idea smiths to dyed-in-the-wool Viennese production and trading companies: Formats curated by VIENNA DESIGN WEEK will be complementedin an important way by the projects of program partners, which will make a significant contribution to the festival's diverse quality. Firmly embedded in the dense international festival network, every year institutions, companies, and offices from Austria and abroad make use of the opportunity to present their contributions conceived and created especially for VIENNA DESIGN WEEK, thereby jointly reproducing the spectrum of deisgn's creative economic potential. The thematically varied program includes exhibitions, lectures and workshops, in addition to presentations, installations, experiments and more. Thanks to their presence at numerous locations throughout the city, the program partners make Vienna a city full of design each year.
