Sdworks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SDWorks is a design incubator at the School of Design at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, founded by Dr Ernesto Spicciolato and Roger Ball, managed by Shereen Pong.

It was created in response to witness student projects which often have great commercial potential but end when the course is completed. The purpose of SDWorks was to turn these works into reality.

Together with the students, SDWorks helps to develop and refine their ideas into real world products. They manufacture the designs on site at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Industrial Center or license to industrial partners. Profits are split between the University, the School of Design, teaching staff who worked on the projects, and the student designers.
