Over the years, the Design Intelligence Award has rapidly developed into one of the world\u2019s most prestigious award programmes. Celebrating global design, entrepreneurship and business success, it represents an opportunity for UK entrepreneurs to access global decision-makers, investors and commissioners, build their reputation internationally, and grab a share of a \u00a3600,000 (RMB 5,000,000) award fund.<\/p>\n

DIA has a strong trade and commercialisation focus, and its Industrial Transformation Service provides support for project landing, investment, entrepreneurship guidance, design refinement, marketing promotion and sci-tech transformation to accelerate market expansion. <\/span>The DIA Trade and Business Portal helps applicants evaluate the potential of products or services, offering guidance on how to grow business in China<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

DIA recognises effort, dedication and innovation in four categories \u2013 spanning Cultural Innovation, Life Wisdom, Industrial Equipment and Digital Economy \u2013 designed to appeal to both established businesses with products new to the market and early-stage innovators with prototypes capable of being brought to market.
