UDIT, protagonist of Madrid Design Festival 2026
The university will feature different activities and initiatives as part of the international design festival organised by La Fábrica .
The ninth edition of Madrid Design Festival, the international design festival organised by La Fábrica, will once again turn the city into the great design stage between 5 February and mid-March 2026 .
Under the slogan Redesigning the world, on this occasion the festival structures its programme around four dimensions that define the scope of design: responsibility, to respond to contemporary challenges; transcendence, as a lasting imprint on the way we live; impact, in the transformation of environments and structures; and transmission, as a link between generations and knowledge.
Thus, Madrid Design Festival reaffirms its vocation as a platform that promotes design as an essential tool for transforming processes, systems and ways of life, projecting a broad view that encompasses industry, craftsmanship, innovation, economy and everyday life .
UDIT, present in the official agenda
In this new edition of Madrid Design Festival, UDIT, University of Design, Innovation and Technology repeats its participation with various activities and actions that are part of the official program of the festival. Starting with the Walk&Talk Routes, which in its fourth edition will feature guided routes focused on Interior Design, Product Design or Fashion History, among others. An opportunity to get to know the city from different perspectives and points of view, always with design as the central theme .
In addition, for the first time in the framework of Madrid Design Festival, the university will host Referentum, an annual meeting to share knowledge and learning about graphic design and visual culture, with the aim of showcasing contemporary graphic excellence. This year's edition will feature designers and studios such as An Audience of One, Morillas, Statement, Matt Lamont, Ragged Edge and Mouthwash.
