This PhD study investigates innovation support for companies working on design for sustainability and intermediaries that provide innovation support. The study focuses on Turkey, where design for sustainability is not yet developed. It investigates the innovation support needs of companies working on design for sustainability, how these needs can be fulfilled and how to enable further spreading of the design for sustainability approach throughout the industry. The research strategy followed is to explore and explain the state of the art, learn from best examples, draw strategies based on findings and develop them further through expert opinions. By these means, the dissertation aims to contribute both to Turkey’s sustainable development and to theory in the fields of design, innovation and sustainability.
