Episode von Gründer Guide von HHL DIGITAL SPACE · 17. Januar 2022 · 31 min
What can you learn from an art school for your startup?
Joe Lookwood is director of Innovation at Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin and is frequently asking questions to challenge the status quo. In this podcast episode he explains the value art and design can have for the society and economy and what differentiates Great Britain and Scandinavia from Germany concerning their approach to creative industries. Building intersections between creativity and technology and engineering (or basically every other discipline considered economically valuable) can have a tremendous impact. In fact, one of the most successful companies ever is a design-led organization: Apple.
Joe Lockwood was active in the film industry and run his own studio. In 2010, he co-founded and became director of the Institute of Design Innovation at Glasgow School of Art for over 7 years. Since 2013 he also advised different universities and organizations, such as Audencia Business School in Nantes and Impact Hub Berlin. Since 2020 he is Director of Innovation at Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin (https://kh-berlin.de/). His objective is building a ‘new economy’ - connecting people, places and projects to build alternative solutions and renewing our relationships between people and the planet.
