Come and listen to what happened over the last two years as business and design collided, see what aims have been achieved and hear what did not work out so well. At the conference, all 10 companies participating in the Design Bulldozer programme will present their results and their experience of the cooperation, and you will also be able to hear speakers from Finland and Great Britain.

Design Bulldozer is a pilot project, which aims to improve Estonia's business competence and export potential through design. Within the framework of the project, 10 well-known
Estonian companies have taken part in a two-year design programme, led by experienced designers under the auspices of the Estonian Design Centre.

On the same day as the conference, the Finnish Fennier Prize design exhibition will also be opened in the Mektory building.
