The purpose of Design Pilot is to initiate projects that strengthen the ability of businesses and public institutions to provide innovative solutions by using design-driven innovation methods. The project is a collaborative project between the Norwegian Design Council, Innovation Norway and the Research Council of Norway.

Under certain circumstances, financial support may be given to enterprises wishing to implement projects based on the testing of this method and who are willing to make their experiences available for others.

The purpose of such support is:

• to glean new knowledge and experience about the practice of design-driven innovation methods, both for the individual enterprise and at the national level
• to contribute to the development of specific methodical tools and procedures that can form the basis of consultancy and business-related service programmes
• to help participating enterprises develop specific and competitive innovation as a result of the project and methodology.

The aim of the programme is to help Norwegian enterprises and public institutions become more innovative by using design-driven methods.
