Asia Design Week (ADW) has established a high-profile partnership with the European Product Design Awards (EPDA). Over the past decade, EPDA has been dedicated to recognizing outstanding design, having presented awards to numerous renowned companies such as Maserati, Hitachi, and HP. As long-standing partners, EPDA and ADW have consistently exchanged jury members and offered mutual discounts for award submissions.


Recently, during ongoing internal investigations, the Asia Design Week Organizing Committee has discovered that: In addition to isolated cases involving forged certificates, appointment letters, and authorization documents, there are also individuals whose appointments have expired or whose terms have officially ended, yet continue to conduct external publicity, resource coordination, project cooperation, and even commercial activities in the name of “Asia Design Week.” Such actions constitute serious violations against the Asia Design Week brand and organizational governance system, while also creating substantial risks of misinformation toward partner institutions and the public.
