THE INNOVATION PROCESS

THE PROJECT

Each project is starting with actual customer needs and rapid prototyping, which allows a verification by the customer at an early stage.

THE TEAM

From the very beginning of the Design Thinking process, it is important to integrate experts from all related fields and the customer to build a multidisciplinary innovation team.

THE DEVELOPMENT

The feedback and new ideas based on the prototype then fuel the next iteration of the development.

THE RESULT

The exchange of various perspectives, expectations and experiences create the foundation for innovative ideas and prototypes.
