London Design Summit – Hightech-Design-Challenge 2024

About us
The London Design Summit was founded in 2023 at the heart of the city, collaborating with world-leading designers and catering to an international audience to participate in our events. We aim to bridge innovative research from students or young professionals with pioneers in the design industry.

Our mission is to fuse individual opinion and practicality, pushing the boundaries to find solutions for our social and environmental problems. Founded by architectural designers working in London, we understand the difficulty of crossing the bridge between academic studies and work in practices. Therefore, we are dedicated to fostering meaningful discussions in the design world.
