Design Issues in Europe Today
It is the combination of artistry and usefulness that makes design the creative industry par excellence. As the future growth of the European economy depends increasingly on our strengths in creativity, innovation and ideas, areas in which Europe has a pre-eminent record of achievement, we have to find ways to maximise the potential of these skills in order to maintain international competitiveness and expand its position as a world leader.

Design and the Regions
The fifth event in BEDA’s communication series took place in Brussels on 12 June 2003.
These presentations and discussions began in November 2000 and since then, have taken place approximately every six months. Once again we are indebted to Forum Europe for allowing us to use its wonderful building in the Parc Léopold for the meeting to discuss the value of using design in support of regional growth and development across Europe.

Stimulating Wealth and Creation
Building on the success of our previous events in Brussels, the fourth meeting in the BEDA Communication Series examined the role of the creative industries in Europe.
The meeting sought to clarify their relevance to the European economies and highlight the leading role which design plays in shaping their development. This need to communicate the significance and breadth of design to the institutions of the EU has been the driving force behind all of the meetings in the BEDA Communication Series.
