Let design be everywhere in Yantai, the top ten projects of the international industrial design city are released

On July 18, the launching ceremony of Yantai City's creation of an international industrial design city was grandly held in the International Design Town. Liu Ning, president of China Industrial Design Association, announced the ten major international industrial design cities at the meeting.

Liu Ning believes that holding the launching ceremony for the creation of a famous international industrial design city is a tribute to the future and embracing the world for companies and the entire city that have just experienced the baptism of the war against the epidemic and are accumulating strength and are preparing to set sail for innovation. The flute is to promote the integration and symbiosis of the industrial chain, the integration and development of innovative resources, and the construction of a large-scale platform for enterprise cross-border cooperation. It is an important cultivation of China's participation in international cooperation and competition and new advantages in the new situation.In the past ten years, innovative technologies have developed rapidly. The power of artificial intelligence, block chain, cloud computing, big data + 5g new technologies has promoted the rapid iteration of the industry cycle, impacting the productivity and production relations of the real society, a new generation of information technology It is undergoing extensive and deep integration with the real economy, giving birth to more and faster market opportunities.

Driven by multiple forces such as policies, technology, and markets, the pace of industrial design innovation is accelerating, and application development is rapidly changing. The combination of artificial intelligence-based intelligent design and the industrial Internet opens up unlimited imagination for intelligent manufacturing. The scope of exploration and application is also determined by physical Rely on the relatively heavy manufacturing field to rapidly extend to the digital information field, industrial incubation field, intelligent manufacturing field, and industrial Internet field. Become one of the best innovative models for responding to rapid market changes, continuously launching iterative products, creating an era group brand, linking user big data and mass customization. The design industry has therefore become an emerging industrial force.

Industrial design integrates the value of demand and data, technical possibilities, and the feasibility of commercial success, turning ideas and opportunities into value. Mastering the design innovation model can quickly improve the organizational efficiency and innovation quality of products, services, processes and strategies. Industrial design can be a product upgrade and user experience improvement, it can also be a process and business model re-engineering, or even a major change in corporate social value.

In recent years, China has attached great importance to industrial design, and has written industrial design into its five-year national economic plan for three consecutive times. Various national ministries and commissions, as well as Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shenzhen, Jiangsu, Chongqing, Hebei Xiong'an, etc., have intensively introduced policy support, held high-standard and high-level industrial design activities, and strived for the National Industrial Design Award and the National Industrial Design Institute , To snatch high-end industrial design talents.
