The objective of the ADI is to promote and enhance the understanding of and impact of high-quality Italian and international design as an industrial, economic, and cultural phenomenon.^[5]

The biennial Compasso d'Oro award, considered to be the most prestigious industry accolade, is granted by the ADI.
