In February 21, 2009, the launching ceremony of "Shenzhen Charity Association BELLE international innovation public welfare fund" and the "first China (Shenzhen) leather creative public welfare design competition" press conference was held in Shenzhen municipal Party school. Feng Hongzhang, director of the Ministry of Commerce, foreign trade and Development Bureau, Shenzhen leader, chairman of China Leather Industry Association, vice chairman of China Light Industry Federation, Xu Yong, vice chairman of Shenzhen CPPCC, vice chairman Yao Xinyao of Shenzhen Charity Association, and municipal leaders of Municipal Propaganda Department, Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, Municipal Trade Bureau, Municipal Personnel Bureau, city cultural industry office, city design capital office and other municipal departments attended the ceremony. At the same time, there were more than 100 municipal charities, leather industry associations, competition judges, representatives of leather industry, and heads of small and medium-sized enterprises. Facing the menacing world financial turmoil, and the export tax rebate reduction, processing trade policy tightening, labor costs rising and many other adverse factors, leather products industry exports have declined sharply, the Pearl River Delta region leather products export orders generally fell 20-30%, the entire industry is facing unprecedented pressure. At the critical moment, the Shenzhen Charity Association launched the "support fund for small and medium enterprises to tide over difficulties" in February 17th. After Shenzhen's small and medium-sized enterprises were "touted", they again launched a heavy blow. They launched the first response to the project, BELLE international innovation public welfare fund, and jointly launched the "first China (Shenzhen) leather creative public welfare design competition". According to the Municipal Bureau of civil affairs, "Shenzhen Charity Association BELLE international innovation public welfare fund" was set up by BELLE International Limited for 8 million yuan. Unlike traditional charitable assistance, the fund will focus on "independent innovation and industrial upgrading", which is a new field of charitable assistance. At present, China's industry is still mainly in the low profit "hard manufacturing" link made by raw materials processing. The strength of "soft manufacturing", such as product design, operation mode and brand cultivation, is still very weak. If we want to enhance the capability of "soft manufacturing", we need to enhance the connotation and ability in product design, operation mode, brand cultivation and so on, so as to achieve "industrial upgrading" through independent innovation. The purpose of this public welfare fund is to "support industrial development, encourage industrial innovation and promote industrial upgrading". With the aim of "public interest, industry development, independent innovation and social progress", the public welfare fund will enhance the core innovation capability of enterprises and promote the spanformation of Shenzhen products from "made in China" to "created in China", so as to win opportunities for SMEs in Shenzhen in crisis. The Shenzhen Charity Association's unique exploration in the title fund is unique in China. After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, BELLE international frequently assisted the public welfare service and donated about 40000000 yuan to help the earthquake stricken area. This time, the Shenzhen Charity Association founded the BELLE international innovation public welfare fund. It also responded to the government's call to support enterprises' innovation and promote industrial upgrading. They appealed to more and more people of insight in the business community to pay attention to, support and participate in the grand cause of national industrial development. At the launching ceremony, as a major initiative to support independent innovation, the sponsor, BELLE international innovation public welfare fund, invested 400 thousand yuan to take the lead in the new concept of "public welfare design" in the whole country, making full use of the advantages of charitable projects and industry associations, and jointly hosting the first China (Shenzhen) leather creative public welfare design competition jointly by the municipal Charity Association and the leather industry association.
