Running for its third year, the Innovative Routes to Market programme recommenced for UK Designers and UK Designer-Makers in January 2008.

The programme is aimed at anyone wishing to get further assistance developing their work from an idea into production and into the marketplace.
 
This is achieved by continuing to bring together designer-makers with manufacturers, suppliers, specialist advisors, mentors and project partners, while also providing extended support for all participants.
 
The 2008 programme incorporates suggestions made by the Hidden Art members that participated in 2007 to tailor it more to members’ needs. 
 
 
For 2008 this programme includes:
 

  • Hidden Art forums, offering advice and expert opinion on design-focused issues.
  • A structured time table, including regular, access to information and events to assist you with achieve your aims. 
  • Hidden Polymers Programme – run in association with the Polymer Centre at London Metropolitan University will be run again.
