Participation in the State Reception for Design 2026

As part of this partnership, we were invited this year to the State Reception on May 7, 2026, in the Ludwig Erhard Ballroom of the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy. Two of our trademark and design experts, Dr. Udo W. Herberth and So Hyun Park, attended the event. The reception was opened by State Secretary Tobias Gotthardt with a welcoming speech. He emphasized the central importance of design for the innovative development of society, culture, and the economy, while also expressing gratitude for the resulting diversity and employment opportunities.

The festive reception then provided an opportunity for further networking in a stylish atmosphere.
