Dutch-Indian cooperation in the design world
Joining the forces of npk design and Elephant Strategy & Design
As part of the Dutch economic trade mission to India from February 8th to 13nd 2009, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by npk design and the Indian design company Elephant Strategy & Design. Present at the signing were the Minister of State of Economic Affairs, Frank Heemskerk, the Dutch ambassador in India, Bob Hiensch and other members of the delegation. The official signing of the declaration of intent took place during the India Design Festival, which is organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the National Institute of Design (NID).
The main objectives of this cooperation are, among others, to facilitate the support of eachother’s clients, to get to know eachother’s local markets and to exchange knowledge in the fields of design methodology, engineering and prototyping. Both leading design companies have similarities in character, culture and size. Both npk design and Elephant Strategy & Design stand for a multidisciplinary, holistic approach. Both share the same vision about the value and significance of design in a wide perspective and are very enthusiastic about the future cooperation and exchange of expertise.
