About Us

The DesignSingapore Council was established in 2003, when the Economic Review Committee identified three new economic growth sectors for Singapore, namely, the Education, Healthcare and Creative industries.  The DesignSingapore Council is the national agency for design and is part of the Ministry of Communications and Information.

We are the lead agency spearheading the DesignSingapore Initiative to establish Singapore as a global city for design creativity and excellence in Asia.

Our Mission

The mission of the DesignSingapore Council is to develop Singapore into a global city for design where design innovation drives economic growth and enhances the quality of life. The DesignSingapore Council promotes and develops the design industries as a creative cluster, encourages the adoption of design by enterprises, and nurtures a climate of co-creation and innovation through design.

Our Strategies

Our strategies cover four key domains:

  • Design Capability Development

  • Design for Competitiveness
    Enabling enterprises to leverage good design for economic growth, quality of life, and the environment
