The Shenzhen INPARK Cultural and Creative Park in Longhua District, a subvenue of the 19th China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industries Fair (ICIF), launched Chinese- and Italian-themed cultural activities yesterday.

The INPARK Cultural and Creative Park, the only municipal level cultural and creative industrial park in Shenzhen with a core focus on fashion and culture, this year made its first appearance as a subvenue of the ICIF.

Adhering to the theme of Sino-Italian Culture, four sections are being presented through Sunday to spotlight the design, digital elements and creative cultural products of the two countries. An ecological exhibition has attracted nearly 80 companies at home and abroad covering almost every aspect of the fashion industry to promote business cooperation.

A forum on the theme of "Sino-Italian Culture+Digital" is held during the ICIF at INPARK.

According to a representative of INPARK surnamed Liu, Shenzhen INPARK Cultural and Creative Park now has entered its third phase of development after a decade of growth.

“Under INPARK’s leadership, this development phase aims to build an international community and enhance the influence of fashion design,”he said.

The Sino-Italian Cultural and Creative Design Center, launched in 2019, was relocated to INPARK in 2020. In 2023, the center plans to continue bridging China and Italy in the fields of culture, innovation, and design.
