Global Grad Show is a first-of-its-kind exhibition of the most innovative projects from the world’s leading design schools. Comprised of more than 200 projects drawn from 91 universities in 40 countries, Global Grad Show provides an unprecedented overview of what the world’s emerging designers are working on and a first glimpse at the technologies that will shape our future. Almost every project included in the exhibition is represented by one of its creators, making Global Grad Show the largest student gathering ever assembled.

Every project included in the exhibition is represented by one of its creators, making Global Grad Show the largest student gathering ever assembled. Rather than sectioning projects off in school-specific zones, Global Grad Show organises them according to what a project does, rather than what it is. The exhibits in the Empower section offer new ways to spark ideas and expand our abilities. The Connection section is concerned with encouraging exchange and building community. Under the Sustain section is a survey of innovative approaches to reducing waste and generating energy.
