Irish Design Week 2026

Fáilte (FAWL-chuh) is the Irish word for welcome.

Irish Design Week 2026 returns for its fifth year with the theme Fáilte Future Europe, inviting designers, makers, innovators and creative leaders from Ireland and across Europe to explore the ideas shaping our shared future.

Taking place during Ireland’s EU Presidency, the week-long programme features exhibitions, talks, workshops, awards and the European Creative Industries Summit, celebrating the power of design to drive innovation, strengthen connections and create positive change.

An Irish welcome. A European conversation. A future shaped by design.
