Computational
Design X Circular
Economy
DRIVEN is an incubation program
aiming to embed advanced Computational Design strategies in
Early Stage Entrepreneurship for a Circular Economy.
Applied Research

Why early stage incubation?
How we think about technology:
Traditionally presented as an answer to human needs and a metric to define boundaries between what is possible and what is not, technology is nowadays behaving as an independent agent for change, opening new fields to be explored instead of answering questions or solve technical issues.
Francesco Cingolani – Cofounder of Volumes Creative and Productive Hub in Paris




Join the platform
With DRIVEN we create a learning space to explore advanced digital technology and search for solutions to some of the most pressing contemporary challenges.
