To increase the quality of Indonesian products for high competitive advantage both in domestic and abroad, steps need to be taken to improve the design capability of small, medium, and large businesses. To support this effort, through Statement by Industry and Trade Ministry No. 20/MPP/Kep/1/2001, Indonesian National Design Body has been formed that will construct broad strategy and policies of development of design in Indonesia.
