The Design Innovation Updates build on the discussions and insights from the Design Innovation Sessions (DIS) held during Dutch Design Week 2025. Each update focuses on a social theme, featuring real-world examples, reflections, and insights from designers, researchers, and other professionals.

What new insights emerge when design, research, and practice come together? And how can those insights help address the social challenges of today and tomorrow?

The updates demonstrate how design-based approaches can contribute to addressing social and economic challenges, and offer inspiration for anyone working on innovation in practice.
