Budapest Design Week Now Under Way

The 20th Budapest Design Week opened in the Museum of Ethnography on Thursday, providing an overview of the outstanding objects and highlights of Hungarian design over the past two decades.

In his address, László Bódis, Deputy State Secretary for Innovation, paid tribute to the two Hungarian-born scientists, biochemist Katalin Karikó and Ferenc Krausz, who have received this year’s Nobel prize in medicine and physics, respectively, saying that “they had turned their outstanding discoveries into practice”.

“In innovation and science, the goal is the same: it is to explore how we can put research findings and scientific results at the service of society and the economy.”

Speaking about innovation and design, Bódis noted that the procedure of awarding design pattern licences will be significantly simplified and shortened from January next year.

In addition, the Development and Innovation Office has set up a 500 million forint (EUR 1.3m) scheme to provide grants for applicants seeking support to obtain design patents, he said.

Daniella Koós, the curator of the Budapest Design Week, said that the event opens with an exhibition featuring the recipients of the Hungarian Design Award and the Design Management Award running in the museum until Oct 15.

The awards will be presented at a gala evening on Thursday evening.
