On the early morning of April 16 Beijing time, the Notre Dame De Paris was seriously damage by a big fire. Each artifact is a symbol of culture, and every museum is a treasure house of human civilization. Faced with the difficult problem of protection and risk-prevention of cultural relics, Ningbo Insurance Company has taken the lead in the pilot of comprehensive insurance of cultural relics protection, exploring the new path of risk prevention of cultural relic architecture through the new “insurance + Service” pattern.

The cultural relic architecture is a kind of non-renewable cultural heritage with high historic, artistic and scientific values, so it is important to prevent the risks rather than make the compensations after disasters. There are numerous ancient cultural relics buildings in Ningbo, and to conduct more efficient and professional protection, Ningbo has proposed the “insurance + service” pattern by taking advantage of the city’s construction of the national comprehensive pilot area of insurance innovation, putting the conditions of the cultural relic buildings constantly under supervision of the professional organizations and government administration.

The Former Residence of the Fan Family is the largest existing and best-preserved architecture built in the Ming Dynasty in Ningbo. Because of wood structure and a relatively large visitor flow, there are certain safety hazards and risks. In

Ningbo's manufacturing industry started with light industry. In the 30 years before the reform and opening up, "one line, one pen, one piece of cloth, and one piece of clothing" of "Made in Ningbo” became the main force for the rise of Ningbo's economy. However, factors such as rising labor costs, changes in market environment, changes in consumer preferences, and overcapacity have made these once-famous traditional manufacturing industries face the pain of transition. How to improve Ningbo's traditional manufacturing industry has become an urgent task for Ningbo's economic growth.

On April 4th, the city held a live meeting of the city's traditional manufacturing transformation and upgrading. During the visit, we found that traditional manufacturing companies are constantly improving their competitiveness in the digital economy era through innovation in production, management and sales.

Production innovation: the customization cycle is reduced from 15 days to 2 days

The first stop of the on-site meeting was Ningbo's traditional clothing giant Youngor. It is true that there are still many workers in the workshop. However, the visitors will be impressed by the most advanced clothing intelligent workshop in the country after their visit.
