Design-Driven Innovation Program (DIP)

In a time of uncertainty and rapid change, success depends on adaptability,
innovation capacity, and human-centered solutions. Competitive advantage
comes from thinking differently—especially when innovation is based on real
insights and needs. Finding the right solutions requires fresh perspectives and
cross-disciplinary collaboration. But how do we put this into practice? DOGA can
help!

What is the Design-driven Innovation Program?

DIP provides financial support for early-stage innovation where design plays a key role in identifying needs and developing new solutions. The program reduces risk for businesses and fosters innovation through structured design methods.
