Beijing Design Week (hereinafter re-ferred to as “Design Week”) was first held in 2009 and has been successfully staged for 16 editions. It has evolved into Asia’s largest and most influential platform for the exhibition, promotion, exchange and trading of creative design. Ranking alongside Milan Design Week and Paris Design Week as one of the world’s three major urban creative design events, Design Week serves as a vital carrier for Beijing to develop a national cultural center, a global center for scientific and technological innovation, and an international hub for exchanges. It plays a pivotal role in advancing the integration of culture and technology, boosting high-quality development of cultural industries, upgrading cultural tourism consumption, and facilitating the innovative development of fine traditional Chinese culture. As a core engine supporting high-quality development of the capital, it fosters new cultural productive forces.

Adhering to the mission of openness, innovation and sharing, Beijing Design Week collaborates with global design resources, industrial institutions and market entities to drive innovation in design thinking, resource integration and industrial implementation, building a full-chain ecosystem covering creative research and development, exhibition and promotion, trade and cooperation, as well as industrial incubation and landing. Centering on key sectors including cultural-tech integration, manufacturing transformation and upgrading, revitalization and sustainable utilization of cultural heritage, sustainable urban-rural development, optimization of living environments, and high-quality cultural tourism consumption, Design Week lives up to its mission of "Design for People’s Wellbeing, Design for Sound Development". It contributes to building a great socialist cultural power and a national cultural center, and consistently elevates the international influence and competitiveness of Chinese design worldwide.
