In cooperation with CREATE Berlin and ESMOD Germany, INPOLIS organised the fashion show "Collection of Hope" for 400 German Ambassadors and Consul Generals as well as the directors of German culture and science organisations.

Foreign Minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, together with Ares Kalandides as managing board member of CREATE Berlin and director of INPOLIS, and Waridi Schrobsdorff (i-magine) opened the culture evening in the location "Radialsystem."

The international fashion school ESMOD Germany (Berlin and Munich) launched a fashion line in cooperation with the organisation i-magine and the agency Fashion Patrons. This fashion line united ecologic awareness with social engagement.

Inspired by African patterns and designs, young fashion designers of ESMOD Germany created the "Collection of Hope" - entirely based on ecologic fabric and materials from Kenia.

Since 2000, INPOLIS has been cooperating with the Federal Foreign Office and acted as a consultant for various programmes. It also organised several programmatic parts of the Ambassadors' Conference.

It is a major objective of INPOLIS to advance creative issues in foreign politics and to closely cooperate with the federal Foreign Office in this field. Thus, INPOLIS keeps close links to Germany's Embassies.
