The Design Lab's business development programme aims to raise awareness of sustainable design principles and how we can use the power of our cultural heritage for new concepts, products, services or offerings.
The Design Lab is aimed at creators and small businesses in the creative sector who want to strengthen their business model, their local production, develop their brand through storytelling and find new digital production methods to reach out with their value proposition.
The programme provides you with tools to influence the early idea & design phase in order to create sustainable production, consumption and recycling. These are principles based on zero waste and careful use of resources and energy throughout the process.
Through knowledge and inspiration from our cultural heritage, your company can create new concepts, products, services or offers.
