Year after year, Taiwan's designers and companies demonstrate their exceptional skills at the iF DESIGN AWARD. And this year it pald off especially well! Much more than 180 products and concepts were honored with the iF DESIGN AWARD 2020 for their extraordinary design. That's a record! Never before has Talwanese design been so successtul! Congratulations again to all winners!

This result reflects the innovative entrepreneurship, the strong will to develop competitive prodücts and services, and the high competence for the latest technologles. Once again, we were deeply impressed by this works. The way of finding solutions, implementing them innovatively and then successfully communicating the message of the product or project is almast unique. However, especially this year, we were able to perceive Talwan's brilliant design strength in all the award-winning entries in the discipline of interior design. But also such well-known manufacturers like Compal Electronics, BenQ, Acer or ASUSTEK have been playing in the highest league for years.

This is a fact of which we are particularly proud, since iF and Talwan as a design hotspot are strongly connected on many levels and for many years. This is of course also due to the close partnership with the Taiwan Design Center (TDC).

Design and the growing awareness of design is a matter close the heart at iF and has also been high priority for Taiwanese companies and manufacturers, especially In recent years. Although the exchange and input between designers, institutions and companies is helping to make design thinking even more important, our task is now: How can we internalize it, how can we support even more good design for everyday life?

We are looking forward to working on this question with Taiwanese designers, interior designers, architects, companies manufacturers in the future and to seeing more and more outstanding work at the iF DESIGN AWARD 2020!

Yours,
