On June 25th, Foshan International Cooperation Platform for Industrial Design launching ceremony and 2013 (Foshan) International Industrial Design Trends Seminar by famous Italian designer Stefano Giovannoni were held in Foshan New Media Park. Meanwhile, Foshan Innovation Alliance was officially set up. 

 

Currently speaking, the market competition is more and more fierce, so the costs of traditional industries are increasingly high, the profits are quite the opposite. It is a huge dilemma for the enterprises. As an emerging service industry, local industrial design developed late. The development of different manufacturing industries in different regions varied from one another, in spite of the excellent design resources in Foshan.

 

For better combination of design and local manufacturing, this event was a great success thanks to the following associations:

China Industrial Design Association
Foshan Chancheng Economic & Scientific Promotion Bureau
Foshan Science & Technology Bureau
Foshan Economy & Information Technology Bureau
Foshan New Media Park
Foshan Industrial Design Association
Foshan Chancheng Productivity Promotion Center
Guangdong Industrial Design Association
Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts
Hunan University
Italian Trade Commission(ICE)
University of Plymouth
...
