POLI.design serves as a connection platform linking organizations, design culture, and high-value strategic contexts.

We design and curate programs, events, and networks that foster dialogue between business, institutions, and the design community.

Ideal for: companies and institutions seeking to position themselves as innovation leaders, gain access to the Milan design scene, build strategic partnerships, or engage the next generation of designers through cultural and professional events, design competitions, and international collaborations.
