What does Product Design Mean Tomorrow? Example Middle East
The Industry in the Middle East does not have a strong background of design-driven innovation, in fact, production follows mainly outdated systems. For this reason, there can be an attempt for new technologies like rapid prototyping that might transform fast into low manufacturing practices rather than only visualization of ideas. Today designs of products in the region are often copied and the main goal is to present a cheaper product. With the recent devaluation of the Egyptian pound, a major economy in the region has negatively affected import restrictions. As a result, companies tend to rely on local products and hardly invest in research or innovation. Hope appears in Start-ups and Small-Medium-Enterprises (SME), which are trying to impose themselves by evaluating different business models in order to grow and survive. A possible answer, given the situation, could be a regional network of small entities of innovation and production, using digital platforms and dislocated manufacturing anticipating a regional Industry 4.0.
