INTRODUCTION After its elevation of status in 2020, Taiwan Design Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as the TDRI) began to develop research in design policy. And in that same year, experts from industry, government, academia, and research were invited to organize a series of policy workshops, in which they ran through a checklist of the status of Taiwan design development that resulted in the publication of a “Taiwan’s Design Blueprint” This publication addressed eight aspects on Taiwan’s design and development ecosystem, including:
Design Policy Design Funding Design Support Designers Design Users Design Education Design Research Design Promotion As the goal was to enhance the development of domestic design, having a firm grasp on the development pulse of the domestic design industry was essential during design industry tracking. Hence, systematic data tracking and inspections were carried out in order to track domestic design development, which led to the “Design in Taiwan Report 2020” being published. This year (2021), based on the “Taiwan’s Design Blueprint” our research team focused on the development of domestic “design talent” and conducted a design talent questionnaire and interviews with experts.
