Designing Demand workshops

NetInfinity, working in collaboration with the Design Council, are delivering a series of workshops through Designing Demand Programme. The HVACP cluster is the first Cluster within the region to be deliver the programme.

This is an exciting opportunity for businesses in the region to be able to use the building blocks that will enable them to develop new market avenues with the aid of an innovative design focus.

The Workshops are structured around developing the use of design within Manufacture. The aim is to improve business performance through the strategic and effective use of design, and instil processes for the ongoing, systemic economic development within business.
