Our tradition is to innovate.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Diseño Yucatán has established itself as the nucleus of the Innovation Ecosystem of the State of Yucatan, seeking sustainability through their initiatives, strategic financial management, while cementing and deepening design application to increase economic and social competitiveness.

The Centre drives and supports the elements of innovation units and specialized design for the economic and social sectors, built-in consensus with companies and social organizations, and that’s how the Yucatan Design Centre aims to drive, promote and motivate Content Innovation.

The Center is a strategic alliance between POLI.design funded by Politecnico di Milano and Secretaría de Innovación, Investigación, y Educación Superior, that through a participatory method of co-creation, learning by doing and participatory design, defines, guides and organizes innovation initiatives that boost the competitiveness of Yucatan and its region.

The Centre is divided into four phases:

  • Define Program Value Realization
  • Strategy for brand identity
  • Define and develop pilot projects to build methods of approaching solutions in various areas and thus creating a catalogue of good practices.
  • Define a sustainable management model

In this first stage, the Centre operates within a virtual structure through a web system offering training and consulting services, information and links.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” top_padding=”40″ text_align=”center”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-1″ icon_family=”fontawesome” url=”http://disenoyucatan.com/our-services/networking/” text=”Discover our network” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-angle-right”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”fontawesome” url=”#committee” text=”Coordinamento Scientifico” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-angle-down”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_video link=””][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/6″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”center” bottom_padding=”80″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”grow-in” column_padding=”padding-4-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”small_depth” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text el_class=”beige”]
