iF provides a broad range of design-related services. It is internationally known thanks to its iF Design Award which has been staged since 1954. Today the Award is regarded as one of the most important design competitions worldwide, attracting over 1800 entries from 30 different countries every year. The jury, composed of top international designers, not only critically examines and selects the award-winning entries, but also guarantees iF's special status and the high-quality reputation of the iF label. The company also markets its core expertise - its know-how in the area of organising competitions, tenders or pitches - to companies, institution and political parties. For example, its expertise is often sought on design questions, architectural competitions, advertising pitches and other services involving a strong creative component.
