The Great Recovery

The Great Recovery, started in September 2012, is a community of designers and connects them to new networks of scientists to explore the issues, investigate innovation gaps and incubate new partnerships. The Technology Strategy Board helps to achieve these aims by a programme of practical workshops and events. The Board also helps The Great Discovery by investing £1.25million into new design and business partnerships that re-think products, components and systems that ‘close the loop’.The Great Discovery emphasises the designers to consider the system as a whole rather than focus on individual components or products as to crub the major economic and environmental challenges of 'take-make-dispose’ model.The mission of The Great Discovery is to create a neutral space where all disciplines around the circle in the diagram below can learn from each other so that we can create initiatives which move us towards a circular economy.
