Abstract
Purposely combined design and innovation can offer alternatives to many of the transformation Europe (and the current economical system) is seeking for imagining future alternatives to production and consumption. They can help envisage and devise new forms of organisation, distribution, and work, by highlighting the social and creative character of businesses, and society at large. This chapter offers prompts to open discussions around how these considerations can influence some aspects of society. In particular, it discusses the emergence of a new type of firm and entrepreneur, the characteristics of a new kind of designer or a designer-citizen, the redefinition of the relationship between design and innovation. Finally, it points out the main challenges for the future of this research and calls out to other researchers for contributing to the advancement of the topic.
