Design plays a crucial role in innovation by improving functional and aesthetic aspects of a product, quality of services and enhancing user experiences. Design encompasses the entire spectrum of form, function, aesthetics, engineering, culture and lifestyle needs. It aims to improve quality of life, creates new value and markets. With a systematic and creative approach and keeping human needs at the core, design helps augment quality of usage and bring about responsible change.

Design has been high on the national agenda for many countries, therefore importance of strategic use of design for competitive growth has been emphasized throughout the world. Many governments are developing and implementing design policies and promotion programs not only to boost their industry and business competitiveness, but also to increase awareness of design in public lives, even to solve complex social issues such as public health systems, crime abatement, energy saving, geriatric needs, and so on. Several studies have shown a strong interrelationship between national competitiveness and design.
