This is Li Chaode, Dean of the school of art and design, Soochow University, who made a clear speech at the Forum on textile technology innovation.

　　
Li Chaode said, from Clinton's "design America" and Mrs. Thatcher's "Britain can have no prime minister, but not without design". To Japan, the design innovation as a national economic development strategy, all shows that developed countries attach importance to design innovation. Premier Wen Jiabao had also indicated that "we should attach great importance to industrial design". The 11 ministries and commissions such as the Ministry of industry and information technology jointly issued some guiding opinions on promoting the development of industrial design this year.

The creative industry can be said to be the integration of cultural industry, design industry and process design. From World Expo, Shanghai, we can see that the transformation of design concept, innovation in form, breakthroughs in technology, and integration of display and culture, the concept of design is being further developed and transformed along with the integration of design and art, and the integration of the two. All the innovations in World Expo's display design are inseparable from the technological breakthroughs brought about by technological development.

　　
Li Chaode said that the national cultures of all countries and regions in Shanghai and World Expo are surging each other, colliding with the sparks of creativity, and the embodiment and transmission of culture are particularly manifested in the display designs of various foreign self built pavilions. For the textile and garment industry, textile design is inseparable from clothing design, garment design is inseparable from the display design, so we need to consider the transformation and upgrading of the textile and garment industry from this angle. Now the designers of textile and garment industry have the best combination of engineering and art, and good design requires the best combination of the two. Designers also need to realize integration, transboundary, art and taste.
