VMARKの初代審査員・パートナーとして設立に協力し、講演させていただきました。
歴史的瞬間に立会ったのかもしれないと思うと感慨深いものがあります。
韓国や香港がデザイン産業に力を入れ始めた２００５年以降の１０年の進化を見れば、ここから東南アジアのデザイン振興は驚くようなスピードで進むでしょう。
そして、この賞はベトナムのソーシャルイノベーションを実現するために設立したと、当たり前のように語られています。"

EISUKE TACHIKAWA

Design Strategist / Founder / Director NOSIGNER

Associate Professor KEIO University

JAPAN

"We collaborated and gave a lecture to the establishment as the first jury partner of Vmark. There's something deeply deep in thinking that it may have been in a historical moment. When South Korea and Hong Kong start to power the design industry, the design promotion of Southeast Asia will move on at a surprising speed from here.
And this award is said to be obvious that it was founded to realize the Vietnam of Vietnam."
