Helsinki Design Week presents new people and phenomena within design in cooperation with various partners. Established in 2005, Helsinki Design Week is the largest design festival in the Nordic countries. The dates for 2023 are 8–17 September.

The festival offers the citizens a platform to participate in the development of the city and in related discussion. Our international programme features circa 150 events every year, targeted at both professionals and the general public. It consists of signature events, companion events and satellite events. Children’s Design Week is also an important part of the programme.

Helsinki Design Week’s goal is to be the most significant design platform in the Baltic region. Our design content is always topical, surprising and polyphonic. Over the years, we have grown the industry’s own ecosystem, which includes design enablers, subscribers, authors and users.
