ABOUT

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 Ceremony & Exhibition recognises exemplary designs that raise industry benchmarks and create positive change. Winners across nine 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.
