Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC) is set to implement DESIGN@HKG, a citywide creative business and community activation through design programmes that take place annually in November/December. The initiative activates the entire city through dynamic design programmes and events that foster exchange and collaboration among creative units, design talents, corporate businesses, and commercial brands.
To maximise its impact, DESIGN@HKG strategically leverages the shared networks and resources of HKDC, such as the partnership ecosystem established by Business of Design Week (BODW), it also operates in deep synergy with the DFA Awards and the DX design hub, alongside major partner-led events such as deTour, DesignInspire, the Business of IP Asia Forum (BIP Asia), and the Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture (UABB). Together, this interconnected ecosystem enriches Hong Kong’s creative landscape and cultivates a vibrant atmosphere of design excellence.
Hong Kong Design Centre is a strategic partner of the HKSAR Government in leveraging the city’s East-meets-West advantage to create value from design.
The major programmes include Business of Design Week (BODW), bodw Future Lab, DFA Awards, Fashion Asia Hong Kong and DESIGN@HKG (formerly BODW In the City). Since 2024, we have also been operating the DX design hub in Sham Shui Po, dedicated to fostering emerging design talents and facilitating collaborations and exchanges in the design industry, as well as providing visitors an immersive experience through innovative exhibitions, fashion showcases and cultural events.
To achieve our goals we:
Establish Hong Kong as an international centre of design excellence in Asia
Promote wider and strategic use of design and design thinking to create business value and improve societal well-being
