Futuro? Futuri! 2025

MM Design is pleased to announce the exclusive event "Futuro? Futuri!", a meeting that will shed light on future scenarios and opportunities arising from the intersection of businesses, universities, accelerators, and research centres. In a global context of uncertainty, design emerges as a fundamental element in addressing the increasingly complex challenges that define the current landscape.

With its systemic approach, design is not only a creative activity but also the true connecting link between different realities. Thanks to this vision, it becomes a guiding beacon, symbolising security and awareness in a rapidly changing world, enabling the arrival of innovative ideas and solutions.

"Futuro? Futuri!" is an event designed to stimulate reflection and dynamic dialogue among key players in the innovation ecosystem, with the goal of exploring how design, integrated with the world of research and business, can fuel new projects and processes.

The event will serve as a precursor to the 2025 Milan Design Week, which this year will focus on the theme of connected worlds and the relationship between creativity and action, topics that will be explored during the meeting.

The day will be enriched by contributions from prominent figures in the economic, social, and academic fields, both Italian and international. It will be a unique opportunity to listen to authoritative voices sharing ideas and perspectives on the importance of cross-sector collaborations in building innovative and sustainable solutions.
