SINGAPORE, March 4 (Xinhua) -- The sixth edition of the Singapore Design Week (SDW) kicked off here Monday to highlight design's far-reaching impact.
Addressing the launching ceremony at the National Design Center (NDC), Singapore's Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Trade and Industry & the Ministry of Education Chee Hong Tat said that design exerts influence on all aspects of people's lives, thus playing a critical role in transforming, empowering and inspiring individuals and organizations alike.
Chee also called on Singapore-based furniture and lifestyle product designers to participate in the newly-launched Business of Design Program, as it would "support designers in their internationalization efforts by connecting them to overseas markets, sharpening their brand positioning and showcasing them at international platforms."
Organized by the DesignSingapore Council (Dsg), SDW 2019 will showcase over 80 programs across four thematic categories, namely: Transform my business, Empower my community, Inspire my everyday and Reimagine my future.
Mark Wee, Executive Director of DesignSingapore Council noted that "We believe that through the adoption and integration of design, people's lives can be improved; communities can be bridged; and businesses can create value, today and in the future."
SDW 2019, which takes place at the NDC and various locations island-wide, will run until March 17. Enditem
