First, it enjoys unique advantages, based on the national high-quality development strategy and the local green genes

1. National strategy and policy guidance

Supported by national policies: Closely adhering to the guiding principles of "promoting green development and facilitating harmonious coexistence between humans and nature" in the Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan and Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035, as well as the National Plan for China's Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we will promote green design to empower industrial upgrading.

In response to international trends, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 9, 11, and 12 explicitly call for promoting green industrialization, sustainable cities and communities, and responsible consumption and production. The conference will assist the global design sector in achieving the SDGs goals.

2. Huzhou's green genes and Industrial Advantages

The green industry foundation: Huzhou is the largest green home furnishing industrial cluster in China, with over 5,000 home furnishing enterprises covering smart home, whole-house customization, environmental protection materials and other fields. The export volume is expected to exceed 30 billion yuan in 2024.

Ecological tourism resources: Scenic spots such as Moganshan and Nanxun Ancient Town receive over 100 million visitors annually. The integration of the cultural tourism industry and sustainable design will become a highlight.

Research and talent reserve: Relying on institutions such as the Huzhou Research Institute of Zhejiang University and the Zhejiang Ecological Civilization Cadre College, an integrated ecological chain of "industry-university-research-application" is constructed. 3

The International Green Home Expo has obvious advantages: To vigorously cultivate characteristic industries, effectively expand the supply and demand cooperation channels of the home furnishing industry chain, and increase the domestic and international market share, taking the opportunity of Zhejiang's vigorous implementation of the "Eight-Eight Strategy", since its establishment in Huzhou, it has developed into a professional exchange platform and cooperation bond that connects the upstream and downstream industrial chains and promotes industrial innovation and high-quality development.

Second, the path to internationalization is inevitable - an international big IP on sustainable design is about to emerge

1. International IP creation: Initiated by the Huzhou Municipal Government, in collaboration with international organizations such as the World Green Design Organization, the World Joint Design Conference, and the World Ecological Design Conference, as well as leading domestic organizations, a high-end dialogue platform for the global green and sustainable design field is established.

2. Industrial Empowerment: Promote the upgrading of Huzhou's green home furnishing industry through design innovation, and facilitate the transformation from "Made in China" to "Designed in China" and "Intelligently Made in China".

3. City Brand Enhancement: Assist Huzhou in applying for the international certification of "World Green Design Capital", and promote the transformation of Huzhou's ecological resources and green home furnishing industry advantages into global benchmarks. By integrating cultural and tourism resources such as the world-class Moganshan Tourist Resort and Nanxun Ancient Town, a new model of "eco-tourism + design experience" will be developed to help Huzhou become a "China Green Design Model City" under the framework of the United Nations SDGs, providing a Huzhou solution for the international development of the Yangtze River Delta and establishing Huzhou's important position in the field of green development and sustainability.

Iii. Building the "Davos Forum" of the Global Sustainable Design Field - Huzhou International Sustainable Design Conference (ISDS)

The Huzhou International Sustainable Design Summit, initiated by the Huzhou Municipal Government, is the first high-end event in the field of sustainable design that is based in China and oriented towards the world. As the birthplace of the concept that "green mountains and clear waters are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver", Huzhou has always been guided by the scientific assertion of the General Secretary, taking the lead in exploring the path of ecological value transformation. In 2023, the scale of the city's green industry exceeded 200 billion yuan, and the forest coverage rate exceeded 48%, making it a benchmark city for national ecological civilization construction. The conference, with the mission of "Design-driven Green Future, Co-creating a New Global Ecological Civilization", deeply responds to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and China's "dual carbon" strategy. It aims to build a bridge between the international design community and the green industry, promote the implementation of global sustainable design innovation achievements, and empower Huzhou to become a "World Capital of Green Design".

The conference will bring together top designers from multiple countries, experts in the field of sustainability, policymakers and industry leaders, focusing on cutting-edge topics such as green design, circular economy and low-carbon technology. By releasing the "Global Sustainable Design Declaration" and establishing the "Huzhou Green Sustainable Development Fund" and other measures, it has deeply integrated into Huzhou's "14th Five-Year Plan" strategy for the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, and built a green industry cooperation platform along the "Belt and Road". By jointly building cross-border technology transfer exchange and evaluation platforms with cities such as Kathmandu in Nepal and Dongducheon in South Korea, Huzhou will promote the export of its advantageous industries such as green home furnishing and low-carbon technology, achieve mutual recognition of "Made in China" and "international standards", and help Huzhou become a national demonstration sample for green development and an important node for the international development of the Yangtze River Delta. In the future, the conference will continue to deepen the practice of the "Two Mountains Theory", cultivate a global network of design talents, promote mutual recognition of green standards and industrial chain collaboration, contribute a green solution for Chinese-style modernization to the world, and make Huzhou's ecological genes a common wealth for global sustainable development.

Original aspiration and Mission: Practicing the concept that "green mountains and clear waters are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver", promoting the upgrading of the green industry through design innovation, and building a sustainable future for a community with a shared future for mankind.

Development goal: To build a global "Davos Forum" in the field of sustainable design, attracting over 50+ countries' experts, scholars and industry leaders to participate within five years, and becoming an international hub for the transformation of green technologies and a policy barometer.
