The results of the 2024 Canton Fair Design Innovation Awards (CF Awards), organized by the China Foreign Trade Center (Group), have been announced, and two of our self-designed products, the “Inflatable Kayak” and the “Multi-functional Camping Cart with Sunshade,” won bronze awards! This marks ALIC’s second CF Award win and makes us the only provincial-level foreign trade company from Anhui to receive this honor (Anhui’s only awardees were our company and iFlytek), showcasing the significant achievements of ALIC’s recent focus on design and R&D.

Both award-winning products were independently designed by our designers. The "Inflatable Kayak," stands out for its multifunctionality, offering three different gliding modes: kayak, paddleboard, and bellyboard, allowing users to enjoy a variety of water sports. The product maximizes value with a unique structure featuring three independent air chambers—dual side chambers and a small bottom chamber—which enhance safety by providing backup support if the side chambers are accidentally punctured. PVC air tubes on both sides and an 8 cm thick brushed cushion help maintain the kayak's shape. The EVA embossed surface on the bottom improves slip resistance, adding to user safety. Multiple handles allow for easier carrying by multiple people, and dual elastic cords at the front and rear add storage space on the board.

The "Multi-functional Camping Cart with Sunshade," is a versatile camping cart that not only serves as a carrier but also provides sunshade and rain protection through attached accessories. The specially designed sunshade umbrella can be adjusted to block the sun based on its direction, offering protection for both contents and travelers.

In the future, ALIC will continue to focus on design and R&D, striving to bring more ALIC designs to the international market.
