History edit

The organization was established in 2003 as the Taiwan Design Center.[2][3] The Center organizes the annual Taiwan Design Expo[4] and the Golden Pin Design Award [zh],[5][6][7] a prize established in 1981 by the Industrial Development Bureau.[8][9][10] In addition to the Industrial Development Bureau, the Taiwan Design Center also works with the Ministry of Culture[11][12] and the Ministry of Economic Affairs.[13]

In 2014, the Taiwan Design Center and the American Institute in Taiwan jointly established the American Innovation Center.[14] Since then, the three organizations have jointly organized several events.[15][16][17] In 2019, the Taiwan Design Center hosted the art exhibition of the inaugural Taiwan Pattern Design Festival.[18]

The Center was renamed the Taiwan Design Research Institute (TDRI; Chinese: 台灣設計研究院; pinyin: Táiwān Shèjì Yánjiù Yuàn) in 2020.[1][19]
