The Eco Design Fair exists to advance the sustainable design movement in Shanghai and build community awareness and action around environmental issues as well as provide solutions for healthy sustainable lifestyle. The Eco Design Fair is the original bi-annual fair providing the community the opportunity to network, exchange ideas and be part of a growing eco-conscious movement in Shanghai.

作为上海独具特色的创新时尚盛会,每年两度的生态设计展,以生态设计为主题,致力于不断提高全社会关注绿色,关爱环境的意识,并凝聚公众的力量,将思想转化成行动。自2008年开始举办至今,吸引了越来越多的业界领袖、环保精英、生态设计师、绿色达人、生态时尚品牌、国际买家、学生和普通公众的积极参与和响应,成为传播绿色思想,深化生态意识,交流、互动、共同行动的平台。
