10 days of discussing, dissecting and deep-diving into Design to Improve Life
The first Index Award was held in 2005, identifying the world’s most impactful and iconic sustainable solutions. Guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Award continues to celebrate diversity, inspire hope and act as a catalyst for groundbreaking innovation. For its ninth cycle, and the first time ever, Index Award 2021 will be a fully digital, democratic and accessible 10 days of Design to Improve Life – featuring panels, talks, deep-dives and workshops. All leading up to the Index Award 2021 ceremony on September 30th. From designer masterclasses to shining light on new talent, from repurposing the investment landscape to classic pitch tanks. Featuring curated deep-dive discussions into women’s health and fashion futures to questioning the concept of design itself. Check out the full programme and meet our line-up of people taking us from where we are, to where we want to be #10daysofdesigntoimprovelife
