EUIPO podcast on Europe’s design stories

A new episode of the EUIPO podcast series Creative Sparks: From inspiration to innovation covers “Lessons from the Greats: Europe’s design stories”.

The podcast features Päivi Tahkokallio, designer, founder of Tahkokallio Design+ and long-standing member of the DesignEuropa Awards Jury, and Rosalía Cano, Action Manager of the DesignEuropa Awards at EUIPO.

It looks at how design transforms ideas into products, creates value for businesses and strengthens Europe’s creativity, innovation and competitiveness and highlights the importance of protecting design as a driver of economic and creative growth.

The speakers also discuss design as a key business asset and its role in IP strategy, particularly for entrepreneurs and SMEs.

The podcast episode comes ahead of the 10th anniversary of the DesignEuropa Awards, which will be marked on 22 September at a ceremony in Ljubljana.

It is available on Spotify here.
