Creative Cities Conference Shenzhen

In his role of member of CREATE BERLIN, our CEO Tilman Thürmer participated as a speaker in the Shenzhen International Design Conference. The conference was held to mark Shenzhen’s designation as a City of Design. Representatives of six UNESCO Cities of Design and representatives from within China gave presentations and exchanged views on the three themes of “design and the city,” “design and economy,” and “design and ethics.” Aim of the conference was to guide new Chinese Creative Cities on how to find ways to support their creative community. Tilman’s speech focused on the creative infrastructure in Berlin, and how this can serve as a role model for future creative cities.
