- Updated: July 14, 2022
The Beijing Daxing International Airport Economic Zone (BDIAEZ) held the second communication workshop of the global idea competition for the Daxing International C&E and Consumption Hub from July 12 to 13.
The eight shortlisted teams, which are among the world's top business planning and concept planning teams, communicated with 11 experts from the fields of exhibition, business, industry, planning, operation and other areas.
Experts reviewed how well the proposals have been optimized on the basis of suggestions they gave on the progress of their initial proposals and project positioning in the first workshop held in early June.
This workshop placed greater focus on the development goal of the Daxing International C&E and Consumption Hub, and made the participants more aware that the BDIAEZ requires innovation in development approaches.
In the 2nd workshop, the teams elaborated their optimization proposals, and discussed with experts about the planning and design. The results will shape the final solution that guides the future construction and operation of the BDIAEZ.
The contestants will complete their final deliverables in August. A series of activities including presentations and award ceremonies will be the follow up. The competition is an effort to build the AEZ into an innovation hub connecting the world and a new engine for China's development.
The "Future City" Explorer Global Innovation Competition, another event of the planning and construction of the Daxing International C&E and Consumption Hub, has also been launched. It is designed to collect ideas for urban innovation and development, fuel innovation in technology, policy and business, and build a platform of exchanges among talents, projects and brands.
The event focuses on the four themes of green and low-carbon, cultural inclusivity, new consumption, and smart tech to stimulate thinking on environmental protection, human needs, new consumption and wise approaches throughout all of society.
The BDIAEZ is collecting strategic, iconic and inclusive proposals globally for the development of the Daxing International C&E and Consumption Hub. Aiming to become a world-class consumer landmark, it will continue to perfect the planning and design of the international conference and exhibition center and international consumption hub.
The BDIAEZ has entered a new development phase that involves construction of a demonstration area of new concepts, a pioneering zone and an open highland to serve the new development pattern, and strives to become a hub where global innovation resources can be connected into an opening-up platform for the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. It is expected to lead high-quality development, and emerge as a new engine for a modern economic system and also a new source of momentum for China's development.
