The annual awards, organized by one of China s most influential business and economy newspapers The National Business Daily, recognized Midea as the recipient of both China's Outstanding Internet Connection Experience Award and the 2010 Trustworthy Enterprises Award.
As early as May 2010, Midea debuted cutting-edge Internet of Things products at the Shanghai Expo State Grid Pavilion.

Experts foresee a strong developmental future for the technology, bringing greater opportunities to Chinese home appliance manufacturers such as Midea. It is expected that Midea will lead the future market with smart home solutions for customers.
