The third edition of Taiwan Design Week (TDW) takes place from 29 November to 7 December 2025 at Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in Taipei, under the theme “Design Next.”

This year, TDW looks at how design is changing—from focusing on the individual to caring for humanity and even the planet.

Beyond its world-renowned semiconductor and technology industries, Taiwan is looking to explore the future potential of design. This forward-looking exploration will be highlighted by the IASDR 2025 (International Association of Societies of Design Research) conference, one of the world’s most influential conferences on design research, which will be held in conjunction with TDW. It gathers international scholars and practitioners to investigate humanity-centred design, AI collaboration, and digital environments, while addressing pressing global issues such as health, ageing, and sustainability through cross-cultural and interdisciplinary perspectives.

Highlight speakers include renowned design visionary Don Norman, Professor Stephan Wensveen of Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, and IASDR President Peter Lloyd—leading voices shaping the future of design.
