New initiatives to link design and entrepreneurship
26/6/2012 | VENEZIA. Arscientia is a new formula of creativity
promoted by Fondaco and Picapao, two communications agencies of Italian north-east which believe in
young people and their ideas.
The project
consists in a program of Dialogues and Events that will be held in Venice, Treviso, Vicenza, Verona
and Trieste, aimed to link artists, scientists and entrepreneurs each other.
The
Dialogues are inspirational opportunities for meetings and debates
on innovation; the
Events ensure the diffusion of the
project on the territory, involving anyone interested.
The format aims to promote the
creative thought, looking for a direct connection between designers, engineers and entrepreneurs,
and raising awareness among companies and territory of the importance of the
union “art and science” for a social and economic
development.
The goal is to benefit the conception of products or services which can be translate
into business, including entrepreneurial initiatives, in the following topics:
- sport for
everybody
- technological gap
- food and green
- smart living
- enhancement
of cultural heritage
The
Arscientia Award 2012/13
is a real contest which is ending on May 25th, 2013.
It’s not an unique formula, in fact
another important contest with the same ingredients is
Libero
Accesso (with the patronage of PST Galileo and Scuola Italiana Design).
Again, they focus
on the design and engineering of new products, generated by working groups involving designers,
entrepreneurs and customers. The final result will be the result of a shared experience and
knowledge.
This is a very significant experience that allows a direct relationship between
creativity and business, aimed at the birth of a new product which follows the principles of
Design For All, that is a design focused on the final
user.
