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’.
