This
is a important step for British design in
Europe . Although the design industry in the
UK is recognised as a world leader, until now
it has had very little influence or access to
policy making in design and innovation at
a European level. Through its activities and
lobbying work BEDA influences the EU Commission
and Parliament in its awareness and
undertaking of the role of design in the European
economy. This crucial work helps to
create a better economic and legislature environment
for the practice of design.
As
one of BEDA's 32 design organisation members
from 20 countries across Europe, the
DBA aims to contribute to best practice and
policy initiatives in the international design
arena. This network also provides the DBA
with direct access to other European design
associations with whom resources could
be pooled on collaborative projects in
the near future.
