Podcast: Unleashing the Potential of Open-Source Product Creation
19. Aug 2022We’ve taken to the microphone to Show You the Money in open-source hardware. Join us as we uncover how hardware companies can leverage the vastly expanding potential of open-source design principles to future-proof your business
In 2022, the EU’s approval of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation forecasts new legislative measures and initiatives for sustainable product development. This calls for companies and designers to change the way you design, create and distribute your products. As the right to repair movement expands, and with global supply chains under indefinite pressure, open-source principles might offer a new direction for you and your business.
Throughout five podcast episodes, we talk to open-source frontrunners, thought leaders, and experts about the business of going open.
This podcast is produced by DDC – Danish Design Center as part of the three-year EU-Horizon 2020 project OPENNEXT. For more info, go to www.opennext.eu
