Turkey Design Vision 30 Workshop will be held on 31-2030 March in order to reveal the policies and strategies regarding design in Turkey. In the workshop realized with the cooperation of Turkish Patent and Trademark Office, Informatics Valley and World Design Organization (WDO); 2030 roadmap in design will be determined in line with the opinions of designers, industry representatives, academicians and design students.
Original and high value-added designs, combined with innovation, increase the economic competitiveness of companies. For this reason, countries create various organizational structures to determine policy in the field of design. In this context, the Turkish Design Advisory Council was established in Turkey in 2009.
“Guiding the design”
With the works carried out within the Council, many strategy documents and action plans that shape the design were implemented. Thus, the international competitiveness of many Turkish companies has increased and their success has been recognized with international design awards.
