Design & Research

Design and research play the same essential strategic role in the economy. Both activities are equally transversal to all sectors of production and all areas of the economy. They are also indispensable to change and improve our lives by defining and improving the quality of the objects we produce and the products and services we consume.

Design and research are the best demonstration of how talent and creativity are not only cultural values, but also valuable tools for economic intervention, and there is no doubt that collaboration between research and design teams can strengthen the activity of both. These awards will try to increase the sensitivity to this joint action and the impact in strengthening its results.

With this award the IDB wants to highlight the importance of the R+D-i binomial, where product innovation is a new or improved good or service that differs significantly from the company’s previous goods or services, and through design new opportunities are generated from the field of creativity. The call aims to give visibility to the synergies between knowledge derived from “R & D” and the practice of “R & D”, where innovation and design, are established as potential of the value chain of the company.

This award will discover, stimulate and disseminate the best practices of interaction between Design and Research in the innovative activity of Latin American companies.
