An intensive support service helping early-stage technology ventures use design to commercialise new technology.

What is it?
The service helps technology ventures to use design methods to attract investment, minimise risk and get to market faster and with better products and services.

Who is it for?
Technology ventures between pre-seed and early stage which are developing technology with potential applications in sectors including telecoms, IT, life sciences, energy, electronics and industry.

What does it involve?
The service begins with the half-day Technology Venture workshop. Through case studies and exercises you will be introduced to how using design can turn your business into a better investment prospect. Your business then works on a range of design projects for 12 months with help from a Design Associate, who will advise you on matters such as choosing and briefing designers and keeping the work on track.
