Companies and NGOs are the backbone of the Design Wings project. They represent qualitative transformation, the potential of ideas, a competitive spirit, and the desire to add business value in a socially responsible way, contributing to the success story of the country as a whole.
The project brings the following value to the participating companies:
- Design solutions for companies and NGO's to expand their business and increase their competitiveness;
- A de minimis aid for the development and implementation of new design solutions with a designer and accompanying mentor;
- Relevant and valuable training and knowledge that will contribute to business or NGO's promotion, competitiveness, and other good practices;
- Opportunities to discover new talent and secure competencies and advantages in a market where there is a significant shortage of skilled professionals;
Please take a look at the design solutions developed during the first phase. Some designs are currently being patented and will be made public later.
