DESIGN FOR EUROPE
Design for Europe is a three-year European Commission funded programme that aims to boost the use of design in both the public and private sectors as a means to drive innovation – and ultimately stimulate economic growth and job creation.
Design for Europe wants to raise awareness of the power of design as a catalyst to create better products and services, increase profits and improve customer experience.
