TAIPEI CYCLE d&i awards 2023: Winners announced!

After two days of intense discussions, an international panel of experts in the field of bicycles and design selected 46 submissions as winners of the TAIPEI CYCELE d&i awards 2023. The seven most outstanding submissions were honored with a special prize – the TAIPEI CYCLE 2023 Gold Award. Among them, a company will receive the Gold Award – Young Enterprise and a product will be awarded with the new Gold Award – Green Prize for their exceptional green product development performance. These award-winning products reflect the current status and future trends of the bicycle industry.

Nearly 140 submissions from twelve countries participated in this year’s TAIPEI CYCLE d&i awards. The number of participants has increased significantly compared to the last two years during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This shows that the bicycle industry is recovering and continuing to invest in product research, development and innovation even after the pandemic. The jury members perceived that the changes in daily life caused by the pandemic have promoted the development of innovative designs suitable for these new normal lifestyles.
