Techstyle Futures: The Future of Design
Location: Fabrica Atrium, 4/F The Mills
Time: 9:00am – 5:00pm
Design is all around us. It is inherent in our daily lives. Yet the challenge today is the distinct gap between the world of design and the world of tech/innovation – even though these fields would mutually benefit from learning from each other. This was the inspiration behind the most recent ‘Techstyle Futures’ symposium held at the end of May, co-organized with the UK’s Department for International Trade. With the theme of ‘the future of design’, we brought together the design and tech/innovation communities to explore ‘How Design is Shaping Innovation’ and ‘How Technology is Empowering Design’.
