In order to improve and expand understanding and awareness of design, as well as to promote design activities, throughout the year we held such events as exhibits, seminars and workshops, featuring a wide range of items representing various design disciplines.

Major Projects
●International Exchange
At International Design Center NAGOYA, we exchange information with the international and domestic design communities, not least of which is represented by the three largest design organizations (Icsid, Icograda and IFI), and we work tirelessly towards mutual understanding and promotion of design.

The International Design Center Nagoya holds independent projects in the Design Gallery, but also allows designers and manufacturers to use it as an announcement space, which enhances our presentation of the appeal of design.

In the interest of human resource development, we accepted a trainee from a design-related university for on-site training in design promotion and so on.
