On October 29, 2023, the 7th Global Technology Innovation Conference was held at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center in China. The theme of this conference focused on "Innovation-Driven Development" and featured two thematic forums: "Building Consensus for Green Development to Promote Transformative Financial Practice" and "Advancing Towards Zero-Carbon City Development." Additionally, an exhibition titled "Illuminating the Future of Zero-Carbon Cities" was held. The conference's focal point was how to drive innovation for green development in cities primarily supported by traditional industries, while exploring pathways to achieve green transformation alongside the expansion of green industries. This signifies a significant event in the field of global technology innovation, where technological innovation can promote the green development of industries.

The Global Technology Innovation Conference featured the "Global Zero-Carbon City Innovation Exemplar Award," also known as the "Z-Carbon Award." We are proud to announce that DU Studio's "Lijiang Olive Oil Factory" project received the Silver Award in the Green Building Professional - Practice Vanguard (Zero-Carbon Village) category of the 2023 Global Zero-Carbon City Innovation Exemplar Award (Z-Carbon Award).

 Issues arising from global climate change, such as glacier melting and extreme weather events, are affecting everyone. Therefore, reducing carbon emissions and promoting green sustainable development have become a global consensus. China has committed to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and striving to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. DU Studio has always adhered to the "3H" design principles: HEALTHY, HUMANE, and HAPPY. Our award-winning "Lijiang Olive Oil Factory" project embodies the concept of green health and zero-carbon sustainable development. In the future, DU Studio will continue to present more outstanding sustainable projects, so stay tuned.
