One of the most important design events took place in Stockholm 13-14 November - FutureDesignDays - an international and boundary-crossing design event where people who are interested in various aspects of design meet, exchange experiences, build networks and develop their businesses. This year’s theme is: “SHARE - the power of collaboration”. FutureDesignDays and Nordic Light Hotel are partners for the third year in a row.

The reason why FutureDesignDays and Nordic Light Hotel are partners, for the third year in a row, is the genuine commitment and understanding of design that both organizations share. Throughout the year Nordic Light Hotel and FutureDesignDays cooperate to maintain awareness of design issues and the importance of design as a strategic wehicle in drivning business development forward.

The four cornerstones of the festival The festival is divided into four different segments – Conference, Breakout Sessions, EXPO and Parties. These were all staged at Stockholm International Fairs, except for the Dinners and Parties, which will be held at the other two main venues: the Blue Hall in Stockholm City Hall, and the Nordic Light Hotel.

This year’s theme is: SHARE - the power of collaboration.

A growing number of companies are now going from a closed-doors policy to virtually complete transparency. Everyone wants to share. FutureDesignDays is no exception. Sharing know-how and the benefits of experience, in order to access the know-how of others and learn from their experience, has proved to be effective and successful. Global brands are allying themselves with niche players and are successfully growing one another’s businesses. In the same way, cross-border collaboration - whether business borders or geographical borders - is becoming increasingly common. The collaboration is making brands even stronger and is leading to lucrative business.
