Sponsorship – Invest in the future and benefit today

Today's young talent will be tomorrow's professionals. For a successful career, young designers need support from forward-thinking companies that invest in the future of young design talents and therefore also in their own future.

Without the support of sponsors our possibilities for the support of young design talents would be more limited. Students will not be charged but have the chance to win a prize money instead. Every financial sponsor support will 100% be spent on student projects and awards!

Do you want to contribute to designing our future? Become a sponsor and support young talents with EUR 25,000 per year.
