Upcoming Event

Flourishing by Design is a full-day programme that celebrates design as a catalyst for economic and social progress, locally and globally. Organised by Design Business Chamber Singapore (DBCS), this three-part experience features the World Design Business Forum, the Singapore Good Design (SG Mark) Awards & Exhibition, and the DBCS40 Gala Celebration.

The World Design Business Forum brings together global and local leaders to explore the economics of good design. Through dynamic panels and discussions, the forum examines how design-led strategies drive business growth, market creation, technological innovation, and social impact. Attendees gain insights into how good design is good business.

The SG Mark Awards & Exhibition recognises exemplary designs that raise industry benchmarks and create positive change. Winners across 9 categories will be honoured at the awards ceremony, while the public exhibition offers an immersive showcase of design excellence that enhances everyday life.

The day culminates in the DBCS40 Gala Celebration, which commemorates 40 years of championing Better Business by Design. This milestone event honours visionary businesses and individuals shaping the Singapore Design Story and its global influence.

Together, these three events position Singapore as a global leader in the business of design.

If you’re looking to make your innovation process efficient and user-centred, this workshop is for you.

Led by a practicing UX researcher and design thinking facilitator, this 3-hour, small-group session is where you’ll learn how to extract user insights, spark creative ideas, and prototype with clarity — all while applying AI strategically to enhance, not replace, human-centred thinking.

It’s time to equip you with the practical tools and professional confidence to integrate AI into your workflow and drive smarter, user-driven innovation.
