Entries are now open for the Design Council's 2017 Spark programme which helps turn design ideas into commercially successful products...
This is a great opportunity for up and coming designers: not only do the winners receive an initial sum of £15,000 to help with product development but they also receive a 16-week programme of support and one-to-one mentoring, culminating in a chance to pitch for a share in a further £200,000 investment fund.
There are six categories:
- Home Life: products for the home that improve the way we live.
- Health and Well-being: products that help people live independently.
- Energy and the Environment: products that benefit the environment.
- On the move: products for transport that transform the way we move.
- Sports and Leisure: products that encourage an active lifestyle.
- Something remarkable: for those bright ideas that don’t fit a specific category.
