Shanghai Jiaotong University Innovation Design Center (ICID-SJTU) was established on April 8, 2017. Backed by the strong traditions of Shanghai Jiaotong University’s design disciplines and the industrial vitality of the Zero Bay International Innovation and Entrepreneurship Cluster, the design center aims to build a multi-disciplinary platform which allows in-depth international cooperation and tripartite relationships (industry, learning and research), in order to meet the needs of national innovative and emerging industries. It strives to become a "training center" for design practitioners, a “talent pool” for outstanding local and international students, an "international creator center" to help entrepreneurs, as well as an "incubator and accelerator" for industrial innovation.
