TAIPEI, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--COMPUTEX TAIPEI, the leading global ICT show with a complete supply chain, today announced last call for companies to submit their newest ICT products for the tenth annual d&i (design and innovation) awards. The awards are organized by the Taiwan External Trade and Development Council (TAITRA) and Germany’s International Forum Design (iF).

COMPUTEX d&i awards provide a major stage to showcase the latest innovative capabilities relevant to global ICT companies and startups. First, the d&i awards will be presented at the COMPUTEX TAIPEI trade show opening ceremony to increase exposure for the winning companies, to help them find investors and establish partnerships. Also, winning products will display at COMPUTEX and at other major global ICT shows, including IFA, CES, MWC, Indocomtech, and COM-IT to create business opportunities in local markets.
The purpose of the d&i awards is to encourage integration of innovative applications and industrial technology development. Each year, COMPUTEX TAIPEI receives hundreds of entries, with hot new ICT products selected by a jury of top global industrial designers. Selections are based on the following five standards: innovation and elaboration, functionality, aesthetics, responsibility and positioning.
