GNI Design Accelerator - Application
The Google News Initiative Design Accelerator is a programme that foments innovation and the design thinking mindset in the news and publishing industry.

In this program, your organisation will experience how to deeply empathise with your customers, leverage the power of radical collaboration within your teams, and experiment with possibilities to reduce risks around innovation.

As a pilot project, we're carefully selecting 8 partners that will embark on this journey. If you'd like to be one of them, please fill in this form. Good luck!
