At the press conference, 153 manufacturing industrial projects were declared for industrial designs all over the world.

It is learned that the contest aims to promote the combination of manufacturing and designing.

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.
