October 6, 2022 - (Taipei, Taiwan) The 11th edition of Taipei Cycle d&i awards, curated by iF DESIGN ASIA Ltd. is now open for applications. It welcomes all designers, manufacturers and distributors from the cycling industry, to submit their designs and talent by 12 December.

The 2023 Taipei Cycle d&i awards will have three new initiatives focused on sustainability. The Gold Award – Green Prize aims to draw attention to design focusing on sustainability within the cycling industry. It will be granted to products that have been designed to incorporate the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle principles into its manufacturing, materials, and usage processes.

This year also marks the first collaboration with the internationally renowned design institution iF DESIGN ASIA Ltd. Winners of the Taipei Cycle d&i awards can participate in the iF DESIGN AWARD 2024 for free, and will automatically qualify for the iF Final Jury, providing the innovative winning products the opportunity to step onto the international design stage.

Winners of the Taipei Cycle d&i award can have their products featured on iF online shops in Taiwan (iF’s official website is in Chinese language).

All award-winning products will be showcased in a special exhibition at Taipei Cycle 2023, with potential to exhibit the winning products at further overseas events, such as at CYCLE MODE in Japan, where this year many visitors stopped by Taipei Cycle d&i awards pavilion and inquired when these products would enter the Japanese market, especially the traditional bikes and e-bikes.
