BCD, Barcelona Design Centre, promotes design as a strategic element and a key factor in the business world, and as a discipline that can improve people's quality of life.
For the fourth consecutive year, with BCD coordination, 11 Catalan companies offering design services, under "Design + Barcelona" brand, participate in the Inno Design Tech Expo (IDT Expo) in Hong Kong from 3 to 5 December, one of Asia’s most important trade fairs and a chance to strengthen internationalisation of Barcelona’s design sector.
The IF Barcelona closed its doors on 22 November with a total of 79 activities organized by BCD Barcelona Design Centre, various agents, companies, associations and institutions in the city. This initiative driven by the European Commission was attended by 18,000 people who participated in various activities designed to stimulate creativity, innovation and talent attraction.
The name of the winning project was unveiled last September 25 coinciding with the opening of the 100% Design Exhibition in London. This announcement put an end to the 3rd edition of the International Contest Jump the Gap, organized by Roca with the collaboration of BCD.
The third Design Management Europe Award (DME Award) has awarded the Catalan company Metalarte with an honorary mention in recognition of its trajectory and a business philosophy based on excellence in application and management of design. The DME Award is the first European award to recognise the importance of management in the application of design and innovation.
