Our work in Architecture Design Fashion

We create new opportunities for the UK design sector around the globe through collaboration and exchange.

Our work explores the social and cultural value of a wide range of design disciplines, addressing global challenges and promoting deeper understanding of ourselves, our world and each other through design.

Working with the expertise of the UK design sector and connecting them with their international counterparts in over 100 countries, we aim to increase the circulation of design skills and knowledge, generating new work and ideas in design across the world.
