Creativity and the city
Milan, once more, bets on design and young artists, launching the project Milan Network for Design.

With MIND, 110 young creative artists, selected at national and international level, will be welcomed by 11 schools in Milan, to attend a master and do a final stage at a company in Lombardy.

The initiative was conceived by the Municipality of Milan, together with Triennale Design Museum, Association for Industrial Design and 11 among the most important design schools in the Milan area.

“Thanks to its numbers, its dimensions, its quality and its fame, Design in Milan represents a significant phenomenon” explains councillor Luigi Rossi Bernardi. Thanks to this project, students will have the chance to work and live for a year in the capital of design. Schools will be able to reskill their academic programmes. It will also be an important opportunity for enterprises and the entire economic system.

“I think the MIND project is of great importance for the promotion and dissemination of Italian design in the world together with the Triennale di Milano and Triennale Design Museum, which, through the scientific coordination of this project – said Davide Rampello, president of the Triennale di Milano – are placed on a line of continuity in their mission of enhancing excellence of Italian creativity.”

Coordinator of the initiative is Alintec, company promoted by Assolombarda, Chamber of Commerce and Politecnico di Milano Foundation.
