On September 23, 2025, I’ll have the pleasure of co-facilitating a workshop dedicated to Design Thinking and UX at the Open Innovation Club of the House of Startups in the heart of Luxembourg. Organized in partnership with UX Republic, this event is for anyone eager to put users back at the center of innovation.
Why join this workshop?
In a world where technology moves at breakneck speed, designing solutions that truly meet user needs is more important than ever. Design Thinking is a proven approach for creating innovation rooted in real-world usage—at the intersection of what people want, what technology can do, and what makes business sense.
The morning will be hands-on and interactive, blending theory with practice. The goal? To help you grasp the value and business impact of Design Thinking, experience its different phases, and walk away with actionable ideas to implement in your company.
