Design Network North:Rise & Design - The Power of Data
Event Information
Description
Data might be one of those words that strikes fear into you, but were not talking about maths or equations, we’re talking about information - information about how your business is performing, what your customers are expecting, and most importantly how you can grow.
Our speakers will bring data to life for you, showing you how to use it and maybe even to enjoy using it.

Organiser Design Network North
Organiser of Design Network North:Rise & Design - The Power of Data
Design Network North supports innovative companies, helping them to utilise high quality design skills and processes.
We accomplish this by offering specialised product design, industrial design and new product development support.
Good design is the key to future competitiveness. At a time when product quality standards are universally high and costs have been driven relentlessly downward, design and improved functionality have become the most important factors in the marketplace.
Intended to enhance regional companies’ ability to employ high-quality design, skills and processes, Design Network North works closely with other regional, national and international design projects, and helps those without access to the relevant design skills, achieve their aspirations for growth. Design Network North also holds regular networking events, 'Rise & Design', and delivers onsite Design Performance Workshops to embed good design within your business.
The Northern Design Centre is a regional focal point for use of design by North East England’s businesses and service providers. Throughout each year, the Design Centre will feature work not just from local product designers but examples from all areas of design.
Funded by the EUropean Union, the network is co-ordinated by RTC North Ltd in Sunderland.
