17 2. European Programmes In March 2011, the KEPA extended its operational action to the management and implementation of European programmes funded directly by the EU, through the office function in Brussels. Until now, KEPA has been a partner in 17 projects, with a total budget of 12 million, certifying the quality of the organization and its credibility as a partner. Through these projects, KEPA has developed know-how in areas such as design, microfinance and the social economy, while participating in relevant European networks and institutions (ERRIN, EMN, MFC, BEDA).
18 2.1 What is Design? 2.1DESIGN Design is not just about the way things look, it is also about the way they work. Design creates value and contributes to competitiveness, prosperity, and well-being in Europe. The European Commission aims to accelerate the take-up of design in industrial and innovation activities at European, national, and regional level. European Commission, DG GROW A more systematic use of design as a tool for user-centred and marketdriven innovation in all sectors of the economy, complementary to R&D, would improve European competitiveness. Analyses of the contribution of design show that companies that strategically invest in design tend to be more profitable and grow faster. European Commision - Action Plan for Design - Driven Innovation
19 2.2 Why is Design needed? SMEs from diverse industries and across Europe are under pressure to outinnovate global competition as competition based on price is increasingly difficult, notably for those SMEs based in countries with high labour costs. The development of truly user-centred services as well as the integration of creative, cultural and aesthetic elements into products and services is thus ever more important in today s experience economy. SMEs often lack though an in-house expertise and understanding to implement these changes. They can therefore benefit from infrastructures provided externally. Examples of such infrastructures are Design centres that promote and raise awareness regarding the contribution of Design to business success as well as to wider societal progress. The Smart Guide to Service Innovation/ Design centres, European Commission DG Enterprise and Industry / Guidebook Series No 4
20 2.3 KEPA s initiatives on Design KEPA has participated in the following design-led project: 1. SEE Platform 2. Design For Europe 3. Tourism ID 4. Design Shots 5. Worth 6. BEDA Policy Cluster 7. BEDA Tourism Cluster 8. Kapani Pilot Project 9. Design 4 Innovation
21 KEPA has organized a plethora of seminars, workshops and conferences:
22 KEPA s collaborations
23 Hellenic Design Centre The next days KEPA will officially announce the launch of its new initiative, the Hellenic Design Centre. The goal of this project is to accelerate the adoption of design in innovation policies at both national and regional level. At the same time, through a great range of activities to be implemented in its two years implementation, it aims to promote the use of design in the Greek industry and the Greek public sector to create added value, competitiveness and efficient use of resources. Stay alert for more info during the next days!!
24 3. KEPA and microfinance In its efforts to further assist SMEs and entrepreneurs to override the existing crisis, KEPA started in 2012, exploring the possibility of putting in place a micro-finance scheme in the region of Central Macedonia, Greece. Our goal is to establish a Greek model of non-banking micro financing (loans up to without collateral, associated with non financial support to beneficiaries) Microcredit should always be offered alongside with Business Development Services (BDS). Granting just Loans without an adequate business support at the same time and from the same provider will not serve as a real tool to support existing SMEs or unemployed people that are willing to establish their own business.
