At the press conference of Ningbo Municipal Government on July 26, it was announced that the 2nd Hengfeng Award Industrial Design Contest opened. At the press conference, 153 manufacturing industrial projects were declared for industrial designs all over the world.

Ningbo is strong in manufacturing industry and relatively weak in industrial design, and this has been a restriction for the transformation and upgrading of some traditional manufacturing industries. "This contest of global scope aims to help the small and medium-sized enterprises in this aspect," said Chen Binrong, Vice Secretary General of Ningbo Municipal Government.

It is learned that the contest aims to promote the combination of manufacturing and designing. The awards are of four categories: "Award for Best Creative Work", "Award for Best Integration Project", "Award for Best Design", and "Award for Industrial Promotion."

All these come from the needs of the manufacturing industries of Ningbo. In perspectives of the industrial upgrading and the industrial structural adjustment, the organizer of the contest selected 153 projects needed for designing, involving over 12 million yuan. These projects are of such industries as electrical appliance, motor components, equipment, medical and fitness equipment.
