On June 11, 2026, the Sino-Foreign Cooperative Design Alliance and IDA Design Awards established a partnership. The cooperation will connect international award resources, outstanding design cases and professional communication opportunities with Chinese universities, enterprises, creative districts and design institutions.

Through this partnership, both sides will support broader visibility for design projects, strengthen communication between Chinese designers and the international design community, and create more practical entry points for institutions, young designers and creative teams to understand global award standards.

Cooperation directions

The cooperation will focus on communicating IDA award resources, professional information and selected design cases, while supporting exchange between Chinese design education, institutions, enterprises and international award platforms. Both sides will also explore design talks, project showcases, award interpretation and international communication, helping strong design projects gain clearer public visibility through media communication, project storytelling and partner networks.

Building a clearer channel for international design exchange

Through this partnership, the alliance will introduce IDA-related information, professional perspectives and selected design references to Chinese design communities in a more systematic way.

Looking ahead, the two sides will continue to build communication around design education, industry innovation, award resources and international visibility, creating more direct links between Chinese design projects and global design platforms.
