In 2013, the European Commission launched its ‘Action Plan for Design-driven Innovation’ stating that: “A more systematic use of design as a tool for user-centred and market-driven innovation in all sectors of the economy, complementary to R&D, would improve European competitiveness. Analyses of the contribution of design show that companies that strategically invest in design tend to be more profitable and grow faster”. Design is an approach to problem-solving that can be applied across the private sector to drive innovation in products, services and systems by putting the user first. The Commission encourages all EU Member States and Regions to develop Design Action Plans. However, the route to building capacity for design-driven innovation in SMEs is not clear for policy-makers. As such, the project Design4Innovation will support governments to integrate design into existing ERDF policy instruments to leverage competitiveness in SMEs and to develop, implement and monitor Design Action Plans. Our SMART objective is to: integrate design-driven innovation for SME competitiveness into the ERDF operational programmes of eight countries/regions and consequently for 1,500 SMEs to benefit from the policy instruments including 80% of SMEs implementing new products and services, 80% of SMEs increasing turnover and 50% of SMEs creating new jobs by the end of 2021. Our main outputs will be: - 7 thematic workshops using hands-on methods to facilitate shared learning among policy-makers, - 3 Policy Booklets for governments to integrate design into ERDF policy instruments, - 4 video case studies of SMEs using design for innovation, - 8 Design Action Plans, - 1 high-level conference in collaboration with the European Regional Research and Innovation Network (ERRIN). The anticipated impact is: - 1,500 SMEs accessing vouchers, grants and mentoring programmes, - 80% SMEs implementing new products/services, - 80% SMEs with increased in turnover, - 50% SMEs creating new jobs.
