In 2017, Japan Institute of Design Promotion (JDP) signed a memorandum of understanding on design promotion with the Ministry of Trade of Indonesia and has been cooperating in the judging and operation of the "Good Design Indonesia" design awards organized by the Ministry.

This year's jury was held at the Ministry of Trade in Jakarta for three days from June 6 to 9. From Japan, Ms. Ricca Tezuchi, a product designer and a member of the Good Design Award 2023 jury, participated as a jury member. From Indonesia, seven experts representing Indonesian design, including product designers, graphic designers, architects, and industrial designers, participated as jury members.

This year, 476 applications were received, and 34 were awarded Good Design Indonesia after an interactive screening of those that passed the preliminary screening. Among the Best Award winners, the project that received the highest evaluation was Cella Flake Biopolimer, a material development project. The filter parts were collected from cigarette butts and mixed with cement, then combined with disposable masks and plastic bottle caps that were discharged in large quantities due to the COVID-19 disaster.

The winner of the Good Design Indonesia is exempted from the first round of judging and can participate in the second round of judging for the Good Design Award in Japan. The Good Design Indonesia recipients will be announced on October 5, just like regular Good Design Award winners. They will be exhibited at the GOOD DESIGN EXHIBITION 2023, held for five days from October 25 in Tokyo.
