Four categories, highlighting the mission in the new era
There are four categories that you can enter: Cultural Innovation, Living Appliance, Industrial Equipment and Digital Economy, all of which are required to showcase a working prototype of your product whether it goes on the market or not, namely you have the option of taking the product group or the concept group competition which depends on what the market status you have.
DIA has been encouraged the hi-tech designs focusing on industrial transformation and digital economy, that is why the category of Digital Economy came to be. “We’ve seen the booming trend of digital economy in the world. We are eager to discover the design works applying 5G technology this year.” said Professor Song Jianming, Chairman of DIA Committee. DIA encourage the different types of designs integrated with the big data, artificial intelligence, and 5G technologies, such as industrial internet, smart city, smart commerce, smart health-care, smart education, smart community, telemedicine, etc.
