DesignSingapore Council

The DesignSingapore Council was established in 2003 to help develop the nation’s design sector.

The DesignSingapore Council is passionate about unleashing the power of design to drive growth and economic success, bring people together and improve lives. The design sector is poised to enhance Singapore’s value proposition and contribute to its economic growth and progress. Thus, the DesignSingapore Council was established in 2003 as the national agency that promotes design. In 2015, they were designated as a UNESCO Creative City of Design. This recognition is incorporated in the mission and is used to develop the creative culture and eco-system in Singapore to fully integrate design and creativity into everyday life.

The DesignSingapore Council is a subsidiary of the Singapore Economic Development Board.
