The aim of co/rizom is to enable traditional artisans to market their products globally as a means of ensuring their long-term livelihoods. In order to achieve this, co/rizom combines the expertise of artisans, designers, and business developers. These three-member teams are supported by the broad range of funding options, digital services, specialist advice, and distribution opportunities offered by co/rizom. The products of ten such trios can now be seen in the Festival Headquarters in the GEWÖLBE.
