DigiHub

Through national Digitalisation funding opportunities for the companies in the industry, Design School Kolding has established a digital design hub, DigiHub, where as a knowledge institution we help small-medium sized businesses develop new digital services and products.

We believe that skilled designers have insights into both digital and technological subject areas and with design thinking, craft and creativity they can be part of a fruitful collaboration with a number of other disciplines. Therefore, at DigiHub, in each project, we team up student workers with senior designers and by following a process that is holistic, iterative and human-centred we help technological companies:

• Understand the needs of their target users.
• Co-create and test concepts.
• Develop user-friendly digital products and service prototypes.
• Introduce their products and services to new markets.

Through meaningful collaborations in these developmental projects, we aim to build relationships with the industry and bring new knowledge into the institution to better educate and prepare design students for the job market after they graduate.

It's all good questions and good answers in this podcast series with DigiHub representatives Andreas Stær van der Merwede, Esben Rahbek, Matilda Blomgren and Nina Prochniewska along with Innovation Consultant Lars Mathiesen from DigitalLead.

The series is produced by Jesper Lunau from Erhvervshus Sydjylland.
