On December 5, Li Yi, Deputy Director of the Consumer Goods Industry Division of the Ningbo Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, led a team of Ningbo University art and design professors, doctors, and postgraduates to FIOCCO · Yesgo Valley for an academic research and exchange activity. They were received by Shi Mei, Director and Vice President of FIOCCO Group; Mao Lilu, General Manager of Yesgo Valley; and Meng Qifeng, General Manager of the Yiluyou Cross-border Comprehensive Service Platform.

The Ningbo University delegation first visited the updated comprehensive display boards of FIOCCO · Yesgo Valley to learn about the basic situation of the Group's spatial renewal, transformation, and upgrading. They then proceeded to the Yesgo Valley Designer Fashion Apparel Exhibition and Sales Platform, the Y11 Influencer Fashion Block, the 5G Digital Smart Manufacturing Factory, and other spaces. The delegation also visited the park's resident enterprises—"Heyiqi" and the Cross-border Comprehensive Service Platform—gaining a deeper understanding of the construction and operation of Yesgo Valley's industrial model.

This research activity was conducted against the backdrop of practical coursework. Shi Mei, Director and Vice President of FIOCCO Group, was appointed as a Part-time Master's Supervisor in Art (Art and Design) at Ningbo University. During the symposium, Ms. Shi, in her role as supervisor, introduced the students to the transformation journey of the Yesgo Valley platform from a traditional industrial site to an innovative industrial service platform. She also engaged in in-depth exchanges with everyone on trends in the art industry development and employment prospects for art-related majors.

Deputy Director Li Yi highly praised FIOCCO · Yesgo Valley for aggregating a specialized fashion textile and apparel park centered on fashion clothing, integrating 5G digital smart manufacturing, design and R&D, marketing, e-commerce, and domestic and international trade. He encouraged the enterprise to continue promoting the "craftsman spirit," persist in innovative development, and play a demonstrative and leading role. He also expressed hope that Ningbo University students could further engage in multi-level, multi-form, and multi-field cooperation with FIOCCO · Yesgo Valley, achieving organic integration and optimal allocation of school-enterprise resources, and providing new pathways for jointly cultivating talents needed for economic and social development.
