Multidisciplinary methodology for innovation
Via the Antwerp Design Factory, the education programme and research group of Product Development offers a unique methodology to tackle product development or innovation challenges in a systematic and multidisciplinary way. These challenges contain processes that integrate humane, economic and technical aspects.There is a vast treasure trove of knowledge and technology within the University of Antwerp. A challenge is to translate this into marketable products or services. Antwerp Design Factory supports academics and research groups in the valorisation process.
