DRK for government

Is your city or municipality in need of solutions for upgrading your commercial centre or experience in the public space?

Designregio Kortrijk matches you up with the creative and innovative skills you need and offers support from A to Z.

Because designers are experts in the innovation of products, services, methods, materials,.... They are not only creative. They are also critical. They dare to question the mundane. And when devising solutions, they start from the needs of the end user.

Over the past 15 years, Designregio Kortrijk and its founding partners have developed various formats to bring innovation to companies, cities and municipalities using design methods. Our services for public authorities range from a targeted link to intensive guidance for the upgrading of public spaces and commercial centres.
