More than 80 project examples from globally playing design agencies and business enterprises will demonstrate intelligent and pioneering developments. The exhibition is curated by Hartmut Esslinger and Thomas Geisler and structured into six thematic sections that pose the questions: what will mobility be like in the future? How smart are the technologies of tomorrow. What will continue to give us enjoyment? What will alleviate work and the daily grind? How shall we create health systems for everyone? What makes our life (survival) secure? Meet the participating designers and businesses in six brief discussion sessions about the exhibition themes.
