Design is one of Europe’s greatest resources and is rapidly being recognised as a key element of innovative and successful businesses. Design Management Europe (DME) is an European initiative to demonstrate and promote to businesses the commercial benefits that can be gained with good design management practices. 19 partners from 16 European countries currently compose the DME Network, bringing together expertise from different countries, different backgrounds and different approaches to the world of design, turning the DME Network into a truly European platform for the development and promotion of design management.
DME has been initiated by the ADMIRE Consortium, supported by the European Commission’s PRO-INNO Europe initiative.
