Ethical design takes center stage at the World Industrial Design Day from Valencia

This year, we’re celebrating the World Industrial Design Day from Valencia!
And we’d like to invite you to join us in person for this global event where we’ll explore the principles of ethical design.

Valencia hosts the World Industrial Design Day for the first time in Spain. Six years after being announced as World Design Capital and following its recent recognition as a UNESCO City of Design, Valencia once again becomes the stage for a major international milestone: the World Industrial Design Day 2025 will be celebrated with a global event led by the World Design Organization taking place on June 27 at La Harinera, València Innovation Capital.

Under the theme “Let’s get ethical”, the day will bring together professionals, companies, students, and design institutions from around the world to discuss the major ethical challenges facing the discipline: sustainability, accessibility, emerging technologies, fair design, or responsible education, among others. Organized by Andreu World together with the Design Foundation of the Region of Valencia and in collaboration with the València City Council, the event will be streamed internationally over 16 hours, with a central block from 9am to 2pm (CEST) live from Valencia, which is open to the public upon prior registration.

The Valencia program will focus on ethics, design education, and industry, with a series of round tables and presentations by leading experts addressing topics such as the social responsibility of design, its impact across sectors, or the development of ethical frameworks and professional codes.

The event is free to attend with registration and will close with a celebration cocktail, from 9:30am to 2pm.

Let’s get ethical. Let’s meet in Valencia!
