February 1st 2008 - Conference “Asia and Innovation: ICT and Design to succeed in global markets”

CEFRIEL in collaboration with POLI.design has organized the Conference “Asia and Innovation: ICT and Design to succeed in global markets” for February 1st 2008

The indisputable rise of Asian economies on the production and consumption side, is revolutionizing the global market horizons and the traditional western business practices.
Product and service innovation is a paramount imperative to sustain in the long term the new challenges posed by global competition and to seize the new opportunities in the eastern markets.
If ICT helps to reduce costs, improve performances or implement new functionalities, Design can improve the consumer experience during the whole product lifecycle by delivering new meanings and values at aesthetic, ergonomic and ethnographic level.
