WHO WE ARE

Accenture Industry X

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.

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.
