What opportunities for designers are created through their cooperation with companies?
With the support of Impact Hub Vienna, ja! Natürlich invited emerging creatives to develop concepts for virtual or real­-life-participation through consumption in the world of organic farming and food production. The goal: inte­grating the larger community directly. The result: a farm app that was realized according to the winning concept by the young company Polycular. While Martina Hörmer, CEO of ja! Natürlich, will provide insight into the challenges faced by successful cooperation projects, Karin Emprechtinger will present the relevant aws Creat(iv)e Solutions Call – an innovation grant that supports joint development of solutions in the creative industries field. Whoever wants to work interactively on the question of the creative industry’s effect should come to the morning X­-OVER WORKSHOP of KAT – Kreativwirtschaft Austria.

Talk with: Martina Hörmer (ja! Natürlich, CEO), Karin Emprechtinger (aws – austria wirtschafts­ service)

Moderation: Gabriel Roland (VIENNA DESIGN WEEK)
