About
Designregio Kortrijk brings talent together in our creative design region to imagine, design and make a better future. We organise projects that stimulate creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship, we inspire by bringing good practices and connect by being the engine of a network of companies, designers, education and public space. Designregio Kortrijk started in 2005 as a collaboration between Intermunicipal Leiedal, Chamber of Commerce Voka West-Flanders, City of Kortrijk, University college Howest and Kortrijk Xpo. Thanks to our large experience in this field, in the autumn of 2017 the Kortrijk region had the opportunity to join a worldwide network of 350 cities that use creativity as a lever for sustainable development: the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. Since then, you can call us a proud UNESCO Creative Cities Ambassador.

That is precisely why the Kortrijk region became part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in 2017. This worldwide network consists of 350 cities that focus on creativity to build a more liveable and even more stimulating environment for their citizens. Kortrijk was awarded membership within the domain of design. The recognition is due to everyone who contributes creatively in the region, and you can also use the UNESCO label to strengthen the communication of your creative event, project, action, enterprise, organisation or school.
