Location facts & who’s who The Sir JJ College of Mumbai, the oldest and most famous architecture and design university in India, and the location of event, has been invaded by boxes, metaphors of the transportation of products from nation to nation and of the itinerant concept of the I.DoT project, together with very long coloured ribbons, which ideally tie together thoughts and places. These ribbons have been chosen in the colours of the two flags, Italian and Indian, in order to symbolise the experiences that arise at the end of each stage, from the many meetings and from the relationships that are created by these meetings. Ribbons used as banners to encircle the enthusiasm of the young students from JJ College who have helped prepare the external spaces dedicated to the related exhibitions, and who have also played a part in the various key moments of the initiative as a whole, in a climate of great reciprocity. Along with the INDIA - ITALIA BUSINESS FORUM program, which has named 2007 as “the year of Italy in India” and in collaboration with the highest level institutional authorities in Italy and India, the day-long I.DoT conference held on 13 February at the Sir JJ College, and entitled “Creating identity for design in the Global Market”, was met with great interest by a qualified public of designers and architects, sector experts, personages from the academic world and journalists.

As well as being a prestigious certification of membership to the Made in Italy system of excellence, I.DoT, whose worth is acknowledged throughout the world, is an important communication project, on account of its task to publicize the most highly qualified and avant-garde production of Italian design. iTOi – Italy to India The decision to exhibit in India was taken after extensive research, visits and direct contacts with respected leading Indian players in the world of design, who gave proof of the rapid developments in the sector, accomplished by means of synergic factors occurring at the same time. The most significant of these factors include the strong growth in Indian demand for European products, particularly Italian products (furniture exports from Italy amount to a global total of 34%), made possible in June 1998 by the liberalization of free trade (OGL – Open General License); the continuous proliferation of high-level design schools; the definition of ambitious new specific projects, like the construction of the Design Centre in Pune.
