About Designregio Kortrijk

Designregio Kortrijk wants to bring talent together in our creative design region to imagine, design and make a better future. We organise projects that stimulate creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship, we inspire by bringing good practices and connect by being the engine of a network of companies, designers, education and public space.

Partnership

Designregio Kortrijk started in 2005 as a collaboration between Intermunicipal Leiedal, Chamber of Commerce Voka West-Flanders, City of Kortrijk, University college Howest and Biennale Interieur.
It is our mission to bring talent together in this creative design region to imagine, design and make a better future.
Together with our network, we are building a more creative, innovative and entrepreneurial region.

Our style is pragmatic, we like making things concrete.
Therefore, we organise projects that stimulate creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship, we inspire by bringing good practices and connect by being the engine of a network of companies, designers, education and public space.

Thanks to our large experience in this field, in the autumn of 2017 the Kortrijk region had the opportunity to join a worldwide network of 295 cities that use creativity as a lever for sustainable development: the UNESCO Creative Cities Network.

Since then, you can call us a proud UNESCO Creative Cities Ambassador.
