Design Business Chamber of Singapore to propose IP protection measures

Plus more measures in upcoming industry summit.

The Design Business Chamber of Singapore (DBCS) announced that it will be proposing new groundbreaking initiatives at the inaugural Singapore Design Business Summit to be held from March 12 to 14.

DBSC said this is in line with its objectives to raise the design standards and to transform Singapore into the Design Hub of Asia.

These include the protection of Intellectual Property (IP), restructuring of remuneration packages for designers and graduates of design to attract and enhance talent development as well as a new certification – the Singapore Design Class – to raise the level of design capabilities of design practices and to accord the right recognition to design firms.

New partnerships will also be forged with Singapore-based design schools as DBCS will sign its first-ever MOUs with Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS), Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) and Raffles College of Higher Education (RCHE) at the Summit’s Opening Day.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
