USID Foundation

USID 2010 focuses on emerging markets, designing for the traditionally last focus area for consumer products, BRIC contries, which is soon forcing big players like hand set makers, FMCG, Car companies, so and so forth to change their stance, and innovate from the emerging markets, back to the traditionally strong markets of Europe and America.

At USID, we strive to innovate ourselves each year. We then, want your inputs on what you expect to see, what you saw last time - what you did not like, & what you liked, so on and so forth. Let USID 2010 be a platform for you to be heard at a National and International level.

Here, let us discuss issues such as Gender Equality, answer questions such as 'will China get old before they get rich?', and discuss how India can work towards a strong infrastructure and include more of it's population into the development arena.

India, China, Brazil, & Russia need to invest in their people's health, since these workers will then help build the wealth of these economies. Concerns such as labor laws, immunization, then form our moot point of discussion here.

Alternate energy, Low carbon emissions, & Why the BRIC's dream should be green are important aspects which need to be considered. Please let us know some of your concerns then. Offer remedies and insights, here.

To avoid crises, we need transparency in what our government decides for us, and how it affects our economies. How it affects us, the people. How can then, we, designers, and greatest champions for our fellow citizen's 'needs', make their voice be heard? Discuss, raise concerns, and offer some strategic insights.
