International Young Design Entrepreneur of the Year
The International Young Design Entrepreneur of the Year (IYDEY) award was launched in 2005 and champions the achievements of young design entrepreneurs - people working in the fields of architecture, design promotion, graphic design, interior design, product design and digital media - from emerging economies. The programme recognises their role - and that of the design sector in general - in developing new, local talent and sharing this creativity with the rest of the world.
The ten finalists in the 2007 award visited Glasgow during their visit to the UK to meet with design professionals before attending 100% Design in London. The winner was announced as Sigal Cohen from Venezuela. Read more about the award and view work from the finalists on the Creative Economy website.
