Speaking at the event were:
- Carys Wynne-Morgan from Arts Council of Wales who shared information on the latest round of their Connect and Flourish fund and
- Ollie and Piotr from Cardiff Metropolitan University’s PDR (design and innovation research) team who talked about User-Factor – a fully funded opportunity for SMEs to gain 5 – 8 days design support from the PDR team on whatever project deemed suitable for your business or organisation. It could come in the form of service design, market or user research, workshops in innovation and design thinking or other kinds of user centred design support.
You can find out more about both opportunities by following the links above.
