Fostering design innovation in Albania through design thinking
Session
Integrated Design
Description
This paper aims to define how we can foster new technologies in the field of product design in the particular context of Albania. Apart from several efforts in the local market to invest in human dynamic, infrastructure and qualitative design production technologies there is a lack of a clear strategy based on the interaction between businesses and academia under a research and design curriculum framework. This challenging process of the continuous collaboration between universities and business can lead to a new definition of product development using research methodologies developing a startup-design academy. The continuous exploration, analysis, reflection and inquiry of social needs can lead to new technologies using research methodologies focused in industrial and product design, product development and marketing.
