Mary-Ann Schreurs

Strategic Advisor Innovate.City

Mary-Ann believes in design as an important engine for our economy and being just the right tool for defining big challenges of the city. As the first Alderman for design in the world and former Vice-Mayor in Eindhoven, she therefore introduced design in local innovation policy. Her goal is to improve citizen’s lives by using the methodology of design-thinking in co-creation with the citizens itself and other stakeholders.

She was co-initiator of ( European) innovation projects linked to design.

She is an Honorary Member ( ex Vice-President and President) of LUCI.

She used to be Chairs for Knowledge Society and Culture Forums for EUROCITIES.
