Developers of new technologies need the help of design to ensure that the technologies are useful and necessary to succeed commercially.
The combination of a technologist's practical and technological skills with a designers’ creative and strategic thinking helps in defining applications and routes to market and in developing useful, appropriate and effective products and services.

About Rise & Design
Design Network North members meet on the second Friday of each month to share good practice, learn from experts and to collaborate on issues, projects and needs.
Each meeting has a specific theme and will feature presentations from experts in the field. You will also be able to discuss with other companies how applying these ideas could make a difference to your business.

Hosted By
Design Network North
Design Network North supports innovative companies, helping them to utilise high quality design skills and processes.
We accomplish this by offering specialised product design, industrial design and new product development support.
Good design is the key to future competitiveness. At a time when product quality standards are universally high and costs have been driven relentlessly downward, design and improved functionality have become the most important factors in the marketplace.
Intended to enhance regional companies’ ability to employ high-quality design, skills and processes, Design Network North works closely with other regional, national and international design projects, and helps those without access to the relevant design skills, achieve their aspirations for growth. Design Network North also holds regular networking events, 'Rise & Design', and delivers onsite Design Performance Workshops to embed good design within your business.
The Northern Design Centre will form a regional focal point for use of design by North East England’s businesses and service providers. Throughout each year, the design centre will feature work not just from local product designers but examples from all areas of design.
Funded by Gateshead Council and the European Regional Development Fund, the network is co-ordinated by RTC North Ltd in Sunderland.
