AmCham Shanghai's Technology & Innovation Committee invites you to join our next Innovation Head Roundtable hosted at Design Innovation Institute Shanghai on Wednesday, December 13, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The Design Innovation Institute Shanghai

Design Innovation Institute Shanghai (DIIS) is a non-profit advanced research institution dedicated to pioneering design innovation with tangible real-world impact. As design assumes its place as the third pillar of innovation alongside technology and market dynamics, DIIS was founded in 2020 with the overarching objective of establishing a world-class engine for design-driven innovation transformation. Situated in the beautifully restored 90-year-old heritage building formerly known as the Lester Institute of Technical Education, DIIS is nestled in the North Bund CBD area of Shanghai.

Within the DIIS framework, an array of innovative platforms has been created. These encompass the prestigious Frontier Design Prize, an international accolade, the Design Universe event platform, multidisciplinary master studios, joint industry laboratories, and a design innovation incubator. Collectively, these components serve as magnets for international talent and foster thriving industry ecosystems, all geared toward spearheading the transformative progress of diverse industries while contributing to high-quality economic development.

During our visit to DIIS, we will have the opportunity to exchange views with fellow innovation leaders on :

· Urban regeneration contributing to industry development

· Industry innovation frontiers such as AIGC, ESG, synthetic biology, etc.

· Open & collaborative innovation mechanisms

The discussion will be led by Jie Zhang, Office Director and Director of Strategy & Development at Design Innovation Institute Shanghai
