Design for Next Economy

The Lazio Region, through Lazio Innova, launches the first edition of DESIGN FOR NEXT LAZIO, an international project addressed to companies operating in Design. The initiative is coordinated by Lazio Innova, the regional agency for innovation that supports both enterprises and local public authorities providing services for startups development, venture capital, internationalization services, financial and valorization of regional clusters and regional champions. Its task is to enhance Lazio as a Region of Innovation with an international dimension and promote technology transfer and the innovation-competitiveness- internationalization process, to enter the international value chain. DESIGN FOR NEXT LAZIO aims to connect Businesses and Design in the Lazio Region directly involving Professionals, Associations and Schools of design. That’s why the project is realized in partnership with Sapienza University of Rome (Department of Planning, Design, Architectural Technology), ISIA Roma Design (Istituto Superiore per le Industrie Artistiche), IED (European Design Institute), QDU (Quasar Design University), RUFA (Rome University of Fine Arts), ADI (Territorial delegation of ADI Association for Industrial Design), OAPPCR (Ordine degli Architetti, Pianificatori, Paesaggisti, e Conservatori di Roma), Italian Academy of Arts Fashion Design. The final goal of DESIGN FOR NEXT LAZIO is to create a shared path of co-design to develop new industrial processes and products. Last step of the initiative will be the exposition of all projects and the awarding of the best ones.
