WHO WE ARE

Accenture Industry X ▪ Industrial Design

At Industry X ▪ Industrial Design, our multidisciplinary approach combines expertise in data, digital, and physical product design to help our clients create products that meet the needs of today's users and operators while also addressing the challenges of tomorrow.

We design physical products and digital experiences. Our approach to design is a holistic perspective that considers both the physical and digital aspects of the experiences we design. We aim to create truly innovative solutions that seamlessly integrate both worlds.

We develop proof of concepts for confidence and scalability. Through prototyping, we enable ourselves to iterate and refine our ideas until we arrive at a scalable solution that inspires confidence in decision making.

With over 35 years of experience and winning multiple design awards, we have collaborated with more than 300 clients globally, positioning ourselves as a leader in innovative and sustainable product design. Our dedication to sustainability ensures that our designs not only address current needs but also protect resources and the environment for future generations.
