Below are some examples of the projects that designContext has supported,
at the three different scales.

Projects supporting Entrepreneurs:

designContext formed a small network of international designers, innovators and artists, to support the CEO in his initial go-to-market strategy, and a first range of initial concept product designs. This French green-tech start-up, is now in the mature stages of ramping up development of printable, flexible and lightweight organic photovoltaic cells.
