With the mission to incubate ideas, projects and talents, DIC takes part in the emergence of a new generation of Singapore Designers. We help NUS design students and young graduates to develop and achieve their projects until production and commercialisation. By also developing Research, probe projects and educational programmes, DIC contributes to identifying new industrial, social, and cultural territories where Design will gravitate and grow in the coming decades. Through academic and professional collaborations with other NUS faculties, government agencies and private industry, DIC also promotes the role of Design in those organisations as a keystone of human-centred innovation.<\/p>\n<p>View some of the works <a href=\"https:\/\/designincubation.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Communication Design Hub Interactive Materials Lab Service Design Lab Design Incubation Centre The Design Incubation Centre is part of the Division of Industrial Design, National University of Singapore.
