The four primary services of IIDPS are:

1. Support services for regional economic development offices and design/innovation programmes

2. Support services delivered directly to business

3. Networks

4. Design Policy Research

 Support services for regional economic development offices and design/innovation programmes

Addressing the needs of your region. 

Every region has a unique combination of industrial, academic, political and economic conditions that dictate what the most appropriate business support policy and programmes should be.

IIDPS can support you in understanding/assessing your current regional infrastructure, bring together key stakeholders for constructive, impartial dialogue and therefore help build plans for new support programmes.

 Networks
Through Design Wales the IIDPS already leads a network of 11 European design organisations and regional policy makers and established the UK design support network in 2007.

The insight gained from engagement with this broad network of partners provides invaluable knowledge of the current level of regional engagement and best practice delivery.
