Industrial design is the key part of an enterprise to increase product variety, improve product quality and build a brand, and also an important measure to promote the transformation from “made in China” to “created in China”, from “China speed” to “China quality” as well as from “Chinese product” to “Chinese brand”. Hebei provincial committee of the CPC and provincial government pay high attention to the innovative development of industrial design. Various methods have been taken since 2017, which include establishing institutions, formulating mechanisms and polices, increasing supports, strengthening coordination and promoting implementation. Therefore, from 0 to 1, from slow to accelerating and from following to leading, Hebei industrial design achieves advanced development and forms a new transforming-upgrading pattern through design innovation promoting technique innovation, high-level design empowering high-quality development and “made in Hebei” transforming to “created in Hebei”.

Hebei province establishes a “one-week-one-competition” platform, i.e. Hebei International Industrial Design Week (HIDW) and Goldreed Industrial Design Award (GIDA), in order to on one hand link industrial design both at home and abroad rapidly, assemble excellent design resources and promote deep cooperation between global design and Hebei industry, on the other hand convey China’s design voice to the world, improve cultural confidence and the international influence of China design and enable Hebei enterprises to reach world top design services at home.
