On October 30th-31st 2018, KEPA’s European Programmes Department executives, together with 1 member of the National Stakeholder Group, participated in 5th partner meeting of the project, hosted by project partner LIAA, in Riga.
This marked an important milestone on our project journey. Having analysed our design ecosystems, innovation policies and operational programmes in the first semester, we identified and shared best practice in financial and non-financial business support for design and innovation in following months. In Riga, we turned the lessons learnt and insights into ambitious, targeted yet realistic Design Action Plans. The knowledge exchange workshop on the first day of the meeting focused on developing a vision and actions for the action plans, while on the second day we also had the study visits:
- Riga Chair Factory, a company grew from a small distributor model to sizeable factory delivering innovative projects thanks to design approach and export support services offered by LIAA.
- RTU Design Factory, an inspirational space at Riga Technical University where innovative ideas take shape.
