AEDES INDUSTRY PARTNERS: BUILDING THE FUTURE

Excellence and Vision 

Aedes is a leading international cultural institution. Founded in 1980, it presents a continuous public programme exploring the intersections of architecture, the city and society through exhibitions, publications and events. Aedes collaborates with an international network spanning culture, research, politics and industry. Its contributions to building culture have earned numerous international honours and awards. Combining visionary content, professional excellence and warm hospitality, Aedes has become a destination of choice for international dignitaries – including heads of state and royalty – seeking insight into the future of cities and design.

A Unique Global Network 

Anchored by long-term relationships and a high-profile international network, Aedes brings together Pritzker Prize-winning architects, visionary thinkers, forward-looking policymakers and innovative industry leaders. This environment fosters meaningful exchange, collaboration and the generation of ideas that shape the future. Partners meet, exchange and celebrate with the foremost minds from architecture, industry, governance and academia in a welcoming, intellectually vibrant platform.  Aedes Industry Partners engage directly in these networks and investigations, gaining insight into the questions, trends and opportunities that will shape tomorrow’s built environment.

Aedes Partnership Programme 

Partnering with Aedes aligns your brand with innovation, creativity and global thought leadership. It provides direct access to cutting-edge thinking, invaluable international connections and a platform that actively shapes the future of shared living environments. Partners are positioned at the heart of pioneering ideas, connecting with the world’s leading minds and influencing the discourse on architecture and cities.

To develop products and services for a time in 50 years when we may no longer need elevators, we need partners who can help us read and understand urban culture and open a window into the future. We are thrilled to be partners with Aedes, with its global network, and to be able to participate in how the passionate team contextualises the issues of the day.

To better understand the future and the dynamics underlying urbanisation and the transformation of our world, we are proud to support the activities of Aedes in tackling critical questions regarding not only architecture and urbanism, but also the materials and the things we will use as materials to build the cities of tomorrow.
