Intelligence Award (DIA) shone a spotlight on the creative brilliance and pioneering spirit of innovators and entrepreneurs. Over recent years, the DIA has amassed a collection of upwards of 30,000 exceptional entries across four distinct realms: Industrial Equipment, Living Wisdom, Cultural Innovation, and Digital Economy, drawing contributions from 61 nations and territories globally. The DIA has established itself as a dynamic conduit for promoting international commerce, fostering professional connections, and launching business ventures.
During the DDW, a curated showcase presented by the Design Intelligence Award alongside the Foundation for Design Promotion in Europe and China put the spotlight on a diverse array of contenders. These entries were distinguished by their adherence to the DIA’s stringent evaluation benchmarks. Firstly, the Principles of Design cover functionality, aesthetics, technicality, user experience, and sustainability—secondly, the Direction of Design spans contribution to humanity, industry, and the future. Lastly, the Impact of Design focuses on social influence and industrial development.
The exhibition featured a compelling collection of top-tier Design submissions, offering a wide-ranging vista of design disciplines, industry segments, and geographical origins. Visitors experienced 18 showcased projects, where 8 were tangible artifacts and 10 were conveyed through visual media. The DDW DIA 2023 exhibition drew approximately 45,000 attendees
