Xi'an Design Union

In response to the opportunities presented by the Belt and Road Initiative, Xi'an is expediting its innovation-driven development to effectively pool design talents, bolster innovative design capabilities, cultivate the design industry, and establish the "Xi'an Design" brand. Additionally, in line with the national focus on innovation, Xi'an remains dedicated to integrating cultural creativity and design services with related industries, while vigorously promoting mass entrepreneurship and innovation. Consequently, the Xi'an Design Union (XDU) was collaboratively initiated by representative design enterprises, universities, research institutes, design studios, and designers in Xi'an. On August 11, 2015, the XDU was officially established.

XDU is a local and collaborative non-profit social organization, with the basic aim of serving the industry and cultivating talents. Its primary focus lies in enhancing industry communication and collaboration, facilitating the coordinated development of the design discipline chain, technology chain, and industry chain. Furthermore, XDU is dedicated to promoting the standardization of the design service system, fostering innovative development, and facilitating international exchanges in design services. Additionally, XDU remains committed to driving the deep integration of design talent and technical resources with enterprise industries, thereby establishing a foundation for industrial core competitiveness and influence, cultivating renowned design brands, and propelling overall economic and societal growth.

XDU comprises several key institutions, such as the General Assembly, the Council, the Executive Council, the Advisory Committee, the Expert Working Committee, and the Secretariat. Its scope encompasses six primary focus areas: mechanical and electrical design, industrial design, fashion design, architectural design, visual communication design, and spatial design. Additionally, XDU has established sub-unions dedicated to each of these six directions.

There is a current membership of 323 and a total of 77 initiating units in XDU, including universities and research institutes such as the AVIC the First Aircraft Institute, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an University of Technology, Xi'an Polytechnic University, Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology, Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, etc.; corporate organizations include Xi'an Beilin District Creative Industry Development Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Bobo Architectural Design Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Huatuo Technology Co., Ltd., Xi'an Zhaotai Cultural Development Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Zhongxia Design and Decoration Engineering Co., Ltd., Xi'an Yiluotuo Information Technology Co., Ltd., etc.

At XDU, distinguished academicians such as Xie Youbai, Yao Mu, Tang Changhong, Liu Jiaping, and Jiang Zhuangde,  as well as Wang Runxiao, an expert in mechanical manufacturing and management from Xi'an University of Technology, and cultural expert Xiao Yunru are invited to serve as members of the Advisory Committee. Additionally, outstanding experts in the field are also invited to serve as members of the Expert Committee of XDU, including Huang Weidong, a Changjiang Scholar from Xi'an University of Technology, Yu Suihuai, Director of the China Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance Expert Committee, Chen Tianning, Director of the Industrial Design Department of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Liu Kecheng from the School of Architecture of Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology, Zhao Yuanchao, Chief Architect of the China Northwest Architectural Design and Research Institute, Sun Xijing, Chief Architect of the Shaanxi Architectural Design and Research Institute (Group), renowned architect Zhang Bo, distinguished spatial designer Yu Ping, Wu Hao, Assistant Dean of Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, and Luo QinpIng, a renowned expert in advanced interior acoustic design from Guangdong.

Since its establishment, XDU has carried out comprehensive work in promoting the integration and innovative development of various industries in the design field. Firstly, it studies the development direction of the design industry, conducts investigations, collection, statistics, and research on basic data of the design industry, and puts forward suggestions for industrial development and industrial policies. Secondly, it advocates for the protection of design intellectual property rights and facilitates the establishment of industry standards for the design industry. Thirdly, it organizes international high-end forums and holds influential exchange activities such as the Silk Road International Innovation Design Week. Fourthly, it promotes mechanisms for transforming designer works into commodities through the utilization of internet-based technologies, effectively fostering the integration of the innovative design industry chain. Fifthly, it engages industry experts to provide technical and design analysis and assessments for major projects, thereby assisting relevant departments in making well-informed and scientifically grounded decisions. Sixthly, it places significant emphasis on personnel training, promoting joint training programs for design entrepreneurship talents and leaders through collaboration between schools and enterprises. Seventhly, it promotes the establishment of design creative parks, and promotes the transformation and upgrading of traditional regional industries, thereby achieving rapid and sustainable economic and social development.

XDU will serve as a driving force for the advancement of the Xi'an design industry, accelerating the transformation of achievements and acting as a catalyst for value development. Positioned at the new starting point of the Silk Road Economic Belt, it will export Xi'an design and Chinese design, propelling Xi'an design onto the global stage and crafting a new identity for Xi'an as an international metropolis.
