The Korea Institute of Design Promotion achieved an excellent (Grade A) rating for the first time in the '2022 Public Institution Management Evaluation' conducted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

This result marks an improvement of one grade compared to the previous year, achieving a one-grade increase each year since 2021. In 2020, the institute received a normal (Grade C) rating, followed by good (Grade B) in 2021, and excellent (Grade A) in 2022.

Last year, the Institute enhanced its integrity and strengthened anti-corruption regulations by obtaining the international certification for the Anti-Bribery Management System (ISO 37001). As a result, it recorded a Grade 2 rating in the comprehensive integrity evaluation of public institutions by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, improving by one grade from the previous evaluation (Grade 3).

Additionally, the Institute established design-led manufacturing innovation centers across regional zones nationwide. By promoting customized design support linked to regionally specialized industries, it laid the foundation for the sustainable growth of small and medium-sized design companies. This achievement in win-win cooperation was recognized, earning the highest grade for two consecutive years in the mutual growth evaluation.

Yoon Sang-heum, President of the Korea Institute of Design Promotion, stated, "All employees worked together to support small and medium-sized design companies and designers, resulting in this excellent outcome. We will identify design policies that can respond to rapidly changing environmental demands by understanding field needs and do our best to revitalize the design industry."
