about the munich creative business week
this newly initiated series of events is committed to a clear-cut goal: to encourage high-calibre, in-depth debate on design issues and concepts.
to this end, the annual MCBW aims to stimulate an interdisciplinary design discourse and bring together creative and business professionals 
from around the world in the bavarian capital. this year’s MCBW programme comprises more than 90 events, which went across the entire 
munich metropolitan area until 12 february 2012. here BMW welt assumes a special role in more ways than one: as the location of the MCBW
press office it is a central hub of information on all aspects of the design event, while also serving as the location partner for various MCBW events. 
in addition to hosting the presentation of the iF design awards, BMW welt was also the venue for the MCBW launch ceremony.
