A new Design Council and Technology Strategy Board partnership places design and technology at the heart of UK innovation.
The Design Council and the Technology Strategy Board have announced a new partnership that will see the two organisations working closely together on joint projects to strengthen design's role at the heart of science and technological innovation.
The partnership aims to:
- generate innovative solutions to social challenges through new collaborations between designers and technologists
- stimulate private sector innovation through public procurement
- support SMEs in the technology sector with design advice
- use design to accelerate the commercialisation of innovative technologies emerging from university research
- raise awareness of the role of design and technology in finding solutions to global environmental challenges
The first major project under the new partnership will be launched next month and is linked to the Home Office Designing Out Crime initiative run by the Design Council.
