Copryce joins APCI as a member and becomes a partner of the France Design Impact Award

The Agence pour la promotion de la création industrielle (APCI) is one of France's leading design organizations. Its award, the France Design Impact Award, recognizes design projects each year that demonstrate economic, societal, and environmental impact.

Last year, I sat on the France Design Impact Award jury for the Economic category, representing Alliance France Design. This year, for the Espoir (Emerging Talent) category, I represent Copryce. Two editions, two complementary angles on the value design produces.

It's in this continuity that Copryce becomes a member of APCI and a partner of the award. This commitment reflects what we've championed from the start: a designer who can estimate, argue, and defend the value of their work creates the conditions for lasting impact. The France Design Impact Award recognizes projects. Copryce supports the practitioners behind them.

Thank you to its president Emmanuel Thouan, vice-president Marine Catel, secretary general Régine Charvet-Pello, and treasurer Laurent Denize d'Estrées-Martineaud, as well as to the APCI team, Isabelle Vérilhac and Rozenn Ludard, for this trust.
