SUTD DESIGN PHILOSOPHY At SUTD, we believe in a Better World by Design. Design is the panacea of problems (Value) Design transforms lives & communities (Human-centric) Design is made powerful by digitalisation and big data (Technology) Design outcomes must be quantifiable and experienceable by everyone (Outcomes) Design, when powered by technology, is the informed, intentional, intelligent and imaginative force that will drive innovations to improve lives, grow economies and sustain our world. SUTD LEAP SUTD Leap is a mid-term growth strategy that aims to propel SUTD to the forefront of Design x Tech education and research in the Institute of Higher Learning (IHL) world through several innovative initiatives including the introduction of a Design, AI and Tech focused concept. It aims to create an environment that promotes design and creative co-solutioning with industry partners by bringing the real world into campus and vice versa through an unusual “cross-pollination” of academia and enterprise. By blurring the lines between academia and enterprise, students will be able to grow and innovate in a connected environment – and get a true sense of what real world demands are like and to manifest the power and value of design in the real world. p. 03 ANNUAL REPORT 2023/24
