There’s one returning complaint about the Eindhoven ecosystem: although we have the best and brightest in tech and the best and brightest in design, the two groups should meet more frequently. Well, what better occasion than the Dutch Design Week to prove the complainers wrong.

Next Thursday, October 22, tech designers, trend analysts and design scientists combine forces at the High Tech Campus to kick the dust off high tech product thinking!

From ’Human Centered Design’ we work towards new products through cooperation between the Beta and Alpha. Join in on inspirational sessions by leading speakers in this field and get together for product innovations in an interactive workshop. 

Speakers including; Stephan Petermann (OMA/AMO), Paul Hekkert (TU Delft), Marijn van der Poll (The Oyster Imperative), Sandra Baan (Studio Baan), Huib v.d. Heuvel (Solliance).
