Over eight months, selected talents take a design from idea to prototype and on to a finished product, made locally, in the programme eXpression Design.
The programme is a successful cross-county initiative between eXpresison in Umeå and the creative industry network High Coast Creative in the High Coast. So far, 32 creative businesses have taken their product idea from sketch to reality with local manufacturing. In other words, locally produced design in Västernorrland and Västerbotten. A norm-breaking initiative that shows that you can work with design, no matter where you live.
eXpression Design provides the tools and it's you, the creator, who makes it happen. The goal is not only to produce a locally produced product, but also to grow in your entrepreneurship and your ability to create sustainable partnerships and networks. The aim is to strengthen profitability, find new markets and develop local production. As a later step, there is the possibility to focus on internationalisation and go deeper into strategic planning for further development.
This is a chance for you as a creative who wants to gear up and go from idea to action.
