EUIPO has published a short video showing the highlights of the DesignEuropa Talks, which were held in Alicante last month.

It can be viewed on the EUIPO website here. The full seven-hour stream of the event can also be viewed on the EUIPO YouTube channel.

The Office states: “The event celebrated design through a series of informative panel discussions led by distinguished experts on a wide range of subjects. Speakers included participants from the DesignEuropa community, previous winners, finalists, jury members and others. Topics discussed included the present and future of design, how it powers our economy and impacts society.”

The talks covered topics including the changing vision of design, the need to increase awareness of IP, design education and IP protection, challenges and opportunities in the design industry, the New European Bauhaus initiative, the impact of design on the value of your business and inspiring success stories.
