Welcome to DESINOVA
Innovation and
design will largely be what we in Denmark
will live from in the future. The DESINOVA
project makes it possible for participating
companies to create unique services based on
customer needs, thus ensuring the companies’
future competitiveness. The project is a
unique collaboration between nine trade and
service companies and 12 design companies.
Why is DESINOVA
important?
Through DESINOVA, trade
and service companies are developing
innovation skills and the concept of design
is being expanded within the design industry.
Moreover, a Danish model for user-driven
innovation and case descriptions are being
developed that can be shared with other
businesses. Our goal is to create new
collaborative networks and to expand the
role of design in Denmark’s economic life.
