Design and creativity are today the protagonists of a series of industries that aim to find solutions to meet people’s needs and combine aesthetics, technology and innovation at the same time.

The Master of Advanced Studies in Interaction Design – SUPSI and Lugano Living Lab are pleased to host a three-day conference focusing on design, art and innovation.

Ten speakers, made up of curators, artists, designers, creative entrepreneurs and cultural institutions, will present how they actively promote practices, projects and initiatives at the intersection of design and technology in the cultural industries, arts and entrepreneurship, both in Switzerland and internationally.
