[EVENT REPORT] Design Week: Design in the Age of Transitions

This year, we hosted our first Design Week at our Dassault Systèmes campus to be an active part in the leadership of design in this difficult age of transitions that we are facing.

We tried to find an answer how design can take this leadership and create solutions to pressing challenges like climate change or live within a pandemic. We have invited some wonderful guests to share their vision and ideas with all of us.

It was a wonderful event which we want to share now with you! Below, you will find the recordings of all panel discussions and presentations to inspire you to think of new ways how you can design your future!

“The transformative power of design is undeniable. In troubled times, I believe that designers rise to the challenge of offering alternative routes for a better world. Designers are more than ready to work with all parts of organizations, and share knowledge & know-how across silos. Together, let’s deep dive and discover how it can be done.” Anne Asensio, VP Design at Dassault Systèmes
