How FUEL was born

Future Experience Lab FUEL began as a design education development project, the goal of which was to find out the future of work and the necessary tools for future design and development work. FUEL was born as a result of joint development in a multidisciplinary team using service design methods.

Students, teachers, developers and entrepreneurs together defined the direction of FUEL as an intelligent, open and creative space where experientiality guides learning and development.

The project started in the Finnish Design Academy project and has been further developed in a multidisciplinary team after the end of the project.
