Design as an innovation driver

Investment in innovation and design is a commitment to the present and the future. Innovation makes it possible to achieve business excellence and market leadership. Business commitment to innovation is one of our best tools for promoting competitiveness, social progress and long-term economic growth. Design, for its part, is a source of wealth and well-being. But design is also the driving force behind innovation, always present in the production process. Design is the basis and driving force of innovation.
