We are the Barcelona Design centre.
Barcelona Design Centre was founded in 1973 with the aim of giving design the importance it had in other European cities. This year celebrates 50 years of working with local and worldwide organizations to promote Barcelona design in more than 30 countries.
We understand design as a factor of transformation for competitiveness, sustainability and a positive impact on society, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (2030 Agenda).
We support innovation, creative talent and the promotion of Barcelona design worldwide.
We are the strategic partner in design to create joint value with Companies. Entrepreneurs. Professionals. Entities.
Barcelona Design centre’s Strategic Plan focuses on the following spheres:
- Innovation and sustainability of organizations (companies and entities).
- Support for creative entrepreneurship.
- Promotion of the Barcelona brand in the creative sphere and the internationalization of local creative talent (design inspired in Barcelona).
- Challenges of society and the United Nations sustainable development goals, the 2030 Agenda.
