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.
