Societal challenges in the spotlights

As always, DRIVE will serve you state-of-the-art research, developments and designs that will give you a glimpse of the possible future. Get updated on theme’s such as health, VR in heritage, living materials and much more. With a programme consisting of over 36(!) interactive sessions to pick from, DRIVE is the perfect place for creative professionals and researchers who are looking for inspiration and connection.

This year the societal challenges are at the heart of DRIVE. What happens within research in the creative industry, when we look at the inclusive society, the circular economy and health and wellbeing for example? One of the challenges that will be discussed is Circular Society.
The circular economy is an economic system meant to maximize re-use of products and resources and to minimize value destruction. An important strategy in this context is the transition from possession to use. How can systems advance this transition? And how can we develop new circular propositions that help accelerate the transition?
