Our Partners

Kyoto Global Design Awards

Taking place in Japan's cultural capital, Kyoto, one of the world's oldest cities with more than a thousand years of history, the Kyoto Global Design Awards celebrates design from all over the world. With its legacy of Japanese history, Kyoto continually innovates and endeavors, bringing together history and modernity. This precious heritage has allowed Kyoto to become not only an important symbol of culture but also a hub for new economic and design development.

Through the Kyoto Global Design Awards, we embark on a journey to seek global talents and encourage designers to increase design value, promote social and commercial exchanges, and make meaningful contributions to a better world. Our aim is to provide a reliable platform that promotes professionalism and quality in design.
