The aim of DesignUK is to bring awareness of Britain’s rich and diverse pool of design talent and creativity to a much wider section of Japanese industry than has previously been possible. It will provide excellent exposure for the British design companies showcased and will also help to raise the profile of the UK’s creative strengths in Japan.

Organised and funded by UK Trade & Investment, this will be the seventh year that DesignUK has taken place. Previous missions have been highly successful in generating business and media coverage for the participating companies. This mission has now become an established part of many companies' business development strategy for Japan.
