Feature Summary

The fact that almost every corner of the globe is more and more involved in the overwhelming trend toward globalization shapes the international commerce into an ever-increasing competitive world and enables intellectual property rights development and self-initiated innovation in particular to reach unprecedented heights, esp. in China.  

Nowadays manufacturing industry is taking new shape, and low value-added products are doomed to phase out gradually from the market. To honor its commitment of enhancing global sustainability of economic growth, industrial design, which is taken as the best way to optimize the prospects of commercializing and marketing appropriate products, continues to experience extraordinary growth.

Join all the knowledgeable experts and clients at this year’s event to explore more efficient solutions to reinvent the manufacturing industries to current challenges. THE 2006 DONGGUAN CUP INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL DESIGN AWARD (DCIIDA) is a rare opportunity featuring:

    1. A variety of awards, with the total amount of prizes up to 1,000,000 RMB (around US$120,000), including 6 entrants from the Open Group will be awarded Golden Prize with 50,000RMB (around US$6,000) plus a “Design Travel to Japan and South Korea” for 7-8 days, respectively.
    2. The entrants are not requested to cedes the DCIIDA the entry design with respect to intellectual property rights, which means all entrants are about to maintain proprietary of intellectual property rights upon their entry design projects.
    3. To serve as a gateway to international and professional design circles
    4. With presence of representatives from more than 700 enterprises from all over China, we are dedicated to create even more opportunities for business talks among designers, manufacturers and decision makers from the Government and develop systems to investigate the commercialization of entered works.

Rather than merely organizing a design competition, we place priority on the commercialization of entered works and ultimately on further enhancement – in a choral way with other related professions – of the value of life. It is our sincere hope that you will join us to experience the vibrant city of Dongguan and the booming country of China.
