task

POLITECNICO DI TORINO DAD – Department of Architecture and Design THE RESEARCH

Training modules for SMEs and designers on design innovation

The objective of this task is to contribute to awareness raising in EcoDesign, both for enterprises and designers, in order to diffuse an eco approach at the first step of the project and to have the best environmental and economic results for the territory, by taking into account the barriers and the internal and external stimuli that induce SMEs toward greening their product.

Consequently the designer turns into a key figure having the opportunity to improve the product features since the beginning of the project.

Task 1: Awareness raising in EcoDesign

POLITECNICO DI TORINO DAD – Department of Architecture and Design THE RESEARCH

It is well known that design can become a key asset in the growth of a company.

This approach foster the competitiveness of European manufacturing companies, offering new solutions based on quality rather than price.

Thanks to his expertise, he links different professional skills involved in the project process with the complexity due to a high number of variables.

Sub-Task 2.3 Definition and implementation of technology and transfer actions

The purpose of this task is recognizing and investigating new sustainable ways to innovate products and semi-finished products, discovering unexplored potentials of the selected manufacturers through a detailed study of their characteristics. Opening up to new markets or establishing relations with other production sectors is no doubt in line with the natural evolution of corporate development. In order to create a pool of companies willing to explore their manufacturing processes in an innovative way, 11 manufacturing companies (6 Italian and 5 French) have been selected to access to the Advanced EcoDesign services.
