CALL FOR COMPANIES | Italian Design Champions Exhibition in Shanghai

10 Settembre 2024

The China-Italy Chamber of Commerce is cooperating with the Tongji University to organize the Italian presence at the World Design Cities Conference (WDCC), which will be held in Shanghai from September 27 to September 30, organized by the UNESCO and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government, with the theme "Design Reframing Growth". The four-day global event seeks to explore new avenues for high-quality development driven by design, integrating design into all facets of urban and daily life.

The venue is the just opened Expo Riverside Dingbo, on the banks of the Huangpu River in central Shanghai, a project of David Chipperfield Architects which represents the centrepiece of the redevelopment of the 2010 World Expo Site.

Italy is going to be the only foreign country with a dedicated space in the building, hosting the Italian Design Champions Exhibition, offering the opportunity to shine a spotlight on Italy’s unparalleled legacy in design and industry, bringing together very well-known brands in luxury and consumer goods, as well as the Hidden Champions of our industrial sector, all having a critical role in the global industrial landscape and in enhancing people’s quality of life.

Italian Design is empowering companies in expressing their economic power, their innovation is the guarantee of future success, and ultimately the “culture of project” is the way the Italian companies are enhancing the quality of life of the people who receive the results of our very complex and very beautiful Value Chains and Value-Adding Partnerships.

You will have the opportunity of highlighting how your company’s culture, advanced production processes, commitment to quality, attention to detail, and innovative spirit contribute to Italy’s global reputation for excellence.

The exhibition will emphasize the Italian Way, our distinctive approach to design and production that resonates deeply in the Chinese market, through a narrative that celebrates the Italian culture of design, production and service, demonstrating our ability to adapt and innovate while maintaining the high standards of Italian quality.

The exhibition will be curated to resemble a modern museum of Italian industrial craftsmanship, with a minimalistic design that places the full focus on your products.

With dramatic lighting and a sophisticated presentation, your brand will be part of a narrative that celebrates the Italian culture of design and production. This is more than just an exhibition—it’s a testament to the values and principles that have made Italy a world leader in innovation and design.
