Ergo Institute is a Swedish Non-Profit venture paving way for innovative and strategically groundbreaking use of Industrial Design.

Ergo Institute is the hub for visionary stakeholders gathered from Industry, Academia, Public Sector, Governmental entities and Non Governmental Organisations, sharing one idea; to put Industrial Design to use as a strategic tool in the efforts for a sustainable development of our global society.

The Creative Paradigm, as recognized by the World Economic Forum, exposes us to a wake-up call. We need to explore, educate and transfer new innovative competence to address urgent needs within private and public sector in times of rapidly changing knowledge economies and globalization.

We believe an innovative International Centre of Excellence, targeting these issues, is the prudent and responsible way to respond to this calling.

Industrial Design stands out as the designated stepping stone, given the competence’s proven track-record as an innovative and holistic catalyst in diverse contexts.

Industrial Design harbour powerful qualities needed to forge a cutting-edge competence that will provide us with new constructive contributions to strategies and to tactical decisions on managerial levels, both in public and private sectors, as well as within NGO’s.

A global community, well in balance, will foster prosperity and security for all. That is why we strongly support the United Nations Millennium Goals.

We propose the focus of operations for this Centre of Excellence, be to address the United Nations ambitions. By doing so, we seek to contribute to the efforts for lasting and generic impact that will be beneficiary to us all, regardless of our whereabouts.
