A total revenue of close to 22 billion EUR and over 30.000 creative businesses are a testament to that development.

Berlin stands for inclusivity: Berlin Fashion Week aims to provide a platform especially to young and emerging designers and has managed to establish itself as a relevant place for new fashion within Europe. As Berlin continues to thrive at the intersection of technology and creativity, digital design has become more and more important and UX/UI designers emerge as essential contributors to the knowledge-driven businesses in the city.
