The Grand Award of Design is a prestigious Swedish award recognizing products and services that excel in creativity, sustainability, innovation, functionality, and business potential.
Design is a key to competitiveness and profitability. This is why Teknikföretagen’s Grand Award of Design has been established as an institution.
The significance of design in terms of ensuring competitiveness and profitability was behind the establishment of the Grand Award of Design, which the employer organisation Teknikföretagen launched in 2003.
The Grand Award of Design is an annual award established by Teknikföretagen, an employer organization, in partnership with Techarenan. The award recognizes companies that have gone above and beyond in their design efforts, demonstrating innovation, creativity, and a deep understanding of their target audience’s needs.
