POLIMI: Design Policy

15. POLIMI: Design Policy —
Design Policies are action in support
of design, intended as lever
of economic development
in a determinate territory.
In Europe a fragmented environment exists where many regions
and nations (eg.: Denmark, Estonia, Finland) are currently
establishing specific strategies of development.

16. Its goal is to create a resource
based on data and empirical evidence
for policy maker, public servants
and the public administration, academics,
and users generally interested
about the topic, to support the world
of design policy.
DfE: Design Policy Beacon —

17. Starting with a database of 548 policies,
we selected 45 relevant accordingly
to specific criteria.
Analysis process —

19. The Beacon interprets data through
a framework that analyse investments
made in design and their relative
ecosystem of subject
in a certain territory.
