These were part of the highlights of the Hebei International Industrial Design 
Week 2022 held in Xiong'an New Area in north China's Hebei Province. At the 
exhibition of industrial design innovation achievements, more than 3,000 pieces 
of global design products from over 300 exhibitors at home and abroad were on 
display in the 6000-square-meter venue.

Digital RMB hardware wallet, amphibious garbage cleaning vehicle, and remote 
tactile interactive clothes were showpieces at the first "Amazing" exhibition 
of Xiong'an in this design week, which attracted many visitors.

Based on the landscape of Xiong'an, the exhibition area has created five green 
island exhibition areas centering on smart transportation, environmental 
protection, livability for children, old-age health care and industrial trends, 
respectively. 

Xiong'an New Area's future production and life style featuring diverse 
functions, rich types, safety and health were showcased through the integration 
of real scenarios, virtual technologies and products.

The innovation achievements exhibition has also set up many areas with 
international elements, featuring dazzling innovative design products from the 
Netherlands, Britain, Italy and other places.

Superuse Studio, based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, has launched a new 
children's amusement park which uses waste wind turbine blades for recycling 
design, transforming waste from the wind energy industry into functional, 
beautiful and sustainable urban furniture.

"By holding Hebei International Industrial Design Week, we have built a shared 
platform for international exchanges and cooperation in industrial design, and 
conveyed our confidence in committed opening-up to the world," said Song 
Xiangdang, deputy director of Hebei's industry and information technology 
department.

As a global exhibition featuring the achievements of industrial design 
innovation, the Hebei International Industrial Design Week, after five years of 
development, has risen to be an important platform for gathering global design 
innovation concepts and resources, promoting the development of Xiong'an New 
Area, and contributing to the high-quality development of Hebei.
