During the festival, OPPO also holds OPPO Renovators 2022 exhibition, featuring classic product designs and the winning entries from Renovators Emerging Artists Project.

As leading smart device brand, OPPO believes that the application of technology and product design ultimately returns to a combination of design aesthetics and core needs of users. OPPO is committed to connecting technology with people through elegant design and ultimately transforming cutting-edge technology into user-perceivable detail. "Technology for Mankind, Kindness for the World" is not only OPPO's mission but also OPPO's response to future trends in technology and design. At the workshop, OPPO Design spokesperson Xi Zeng shared OPPO's persistence in innovative and elegant design and its efforts to break through boundaries. The concept of "going over every possible technical obstacle in details and striving for simplicity and elegance in design" runs through OPPO's product design process. "Product design embodies our emotions and ideals." said Xi Zeng.
