With the theme "Design - Chain of Future Industry", the World Industrial Design 
Conference 2022 (WIDC 2022) will be held on November 13-14, 2022 in Yantai 
City, Shandong Province. The WIDC is organized by the Shandong Provincial 
Department of Industry and Information Technology, the China Industrial Design 
Association and the Yantai Municipal People's Government. It will be co-hosted 
by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Shandong 
Provincial People's Government, and supported by the United Nations Industrial 
Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Global Design Industry Organization 
(GDIO). 

The WIDC 2022 highlights the significant role of industrial design at the front 
end of the value chain and upstream of the industry chain, according to the 
Organizing Committee. The WIDC 2022 will be held both online and offline in 
more than 40 countries and regions. During the event, scientists, entrepreneurs 
and celebrated designers will offer insights into the latest trends and 
industry applications of industrial design. The most recent innovations, 
industry applications and commercialization solutions from China and other 
parts of the world will be showcased. Concurrently, the China Excellent 
Industrial Design Awards will be presented and award-winning projects will be 
exhibited.

As the premier summit for the industrial design sector, the WIDC has been held 
in Yantai for four consecutive years, impelling Yantai to establish itself as a 
strong manufacturing presence and a city renowned for its industrial design 
strength. Yantai will also capitalize on this opportunity to transform the WIDC 
into a professional platform where prestigious individuals exchange ideas, 
multiple resources gather, and outcomes are transferred and translated.

Furthermore, Yantai will establish online and offline mechanisms for 
multi-faceted cooperation. There will be a focus on the identification of 
chain-based key enterprises and major projects; and intensive matching of 
industrial parks, enterprises and research institutes will be undertaken. There 
will be more opportunities offered for cooperation, and talented professionals 
will be encouraged and motivated to become involved in the design sector. All 
these initiatives aim to further improve the delivery of industrial designs and 
help Yantai grow into a World Design Capital.
