To fully showcase the intelligent manufacturing strength of Foshan Manufacturing and highlight the innovative spirit and industrial style of the Foshan High-Value Patent Achievement Transfer and Transformation Competition (hereinafter referred to as the "Transformation Competition"), the competition officially launched its brand-new LOGO. The LOGO not only presents the competition theme of "Gathering New Dynamic Energy, Boosting a New Foshan", but also integrates Foshan's industrial characteristics and the development vision of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. With a modern and international visual language, it displays the contemporary style of Foshan, a famous manufacturing city, in promoting technological innovation and industrial upgrading.

Design Concept: Centered on "F" and "S", Gathering Innovative Momentum

The LOGO takes the initial letters "F" and "S" of Foshan's pinyin as the core design elements for extension, and ingeniously incorporates the "G" element representing high value. The letter "F" is shaped like a sailing boat, symbolizing Foshan’s endeavor to forge ahead bravely, build and strengthen the city through manufacturing, and actively integrate into the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Derived from "F" are the high-value "G", arrows and currency symbols, reflecting that Foshan supports industrial innovation and development, empowers industrial transformation and upgrading, and drives the high-quality progress of manufacturing through the transfer and transformation of high-value patent achievements. The dual colors of blue and green represent the connection between enterprise demands and innovative supply.

The main body of the LOGO adopts a dynamic rotating shape, resembling a huge rotating shaft that continuously promotes the transfer and transformation of high-value patent achievements. It focuses on the "five-in-one" competition positioning of "industry-research interaction, financial empowerment, market operation, policy guidance, and innovation services", highlighting the competition’s value as an important platform for the construction of an intellectual property highland in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

As an important support for Foshan’s transition from "Foshan Manufacturing" to "Foshan Intelligent Manufacturing", the rotating arrows in the Transformation Competition’s LOGO symbolize the spiral upward trend of technological progress and high-quality transformation, in line with the competition’s layout of the "6+N" tracks covering biomedicine, high-end equipment manufacturing, intelligent robots, new-generation electronic information industry, new materials, new energy industry and other fields. The overall shape of the LOGO is like a sail heading towards the future, implying that the competition helps Foshan’s manufacturing industry cultivate an innovative foundation and move towards the high end of the value chain through the excavation and incubation of high-value patents.

Competition Mission: Linking Bay Area Innovation Resources, Building a Transformation Highland

Since its establishment, the competition has always adhered to the principle of "promoting transformation through competitions", giving full play to its role as a bridgehead in the Bay Area and a highland for patent transformation. By linking innovative resources such as universities, research institutes, technology enterprises and investment institutions, it has continuously bridged the "last mile" from innovative achievements to industrial applications, and accelerated the transformation and landing of high-value patents into actual productive forces. The release of the brand-new LOGO marks an important step towards the professionalization and internationalization of the competition.

New logo, new journey! The 2025 Transformation Competition has fully set sail. The unveiling of the competition’s refreshed LOGO is a vivid reflection of the competition’s focus on the transfer and transformation of high-value patent achievements, serving enterprise technological innovation and empowering high-quality industrial development. In the future, the Transformation Competition will continue to promote the creation, protection and application of intellectual property rights with higher standards and greater efforts, assisting Foshan and the Bay Area in building a leading national demonstration zone for intellectual property rights.
