About the 48 Hours Inclusive Design Challenge

The foundation of this mentored design competition was the DBA Inclusive Design Challenge that was set off 9 years ago by the Royal College of Art, Helen Hamlyn Centre in collaboration with the Design Business Association, the UK’s leading trade organisation for designers.

The aim of the 48 Hour Inclusive Design Challenge is to elevate the importance of inclusive design as a tool for business advantage and innovation by involving the disabled community as part of the design process. In addition, it serves to develop a sense of social responsibility in participants and assists them in forming international networks of collaborating organizations and individuals.
