More than 900 exhibitors and their products from 15 countries and regions have attracted buyers from 75 countries and regions around the world.

Designer Zhou Zhou, who is attending the exhibition for the second time, believes that the digital economy has brought many opportunities for design, such as the application of intelligent technology, the development of VR and AR technology, and the promotion of sustainable design, all of which will become powerful tools to improve efficiency. What designers need to do is constantly explore and practice, and embrace these changes with a more open attitude.
