Hong Kong’s Business of Design Week makes a great return

With France returning as the Partner Country for this year’s installation of Business of Design Week (BODW), the event series promises over 40 engaging keynote speeches, panel discussions and networking opportunities with industry pioneers. An initiative organized by the Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC) for the past two decades, BODW is Asia’s premier international event focused on design, innovation and the transferrable approaches in design onto business strategy.

The BODW Summit will also make a grand return to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from December 4 to 6, 2024. Over 50 distinguished creative leaders, entrepreneurs and policymakers from around the world will converge to share their insights on how design-driven innovations can address the complex challenges of the modern day and contribute to shaping a more sustainable future.

Creating an immersive atmosphere of design and creativity throughout Hong Kong, some of the week’s most notable key events include the Launching Party for the Hong Kong Design Centre’s DX design hub in Sham Shui Po, deTour 2024 Design Festival, BODW 2024 Gala Dinner and DFA Awards Presentation at the city’s newest landmark, The Henderson — a skyscraper by the monumental Zaha Hadid Architects on the world’s most expensive plot of land.

Anna Cheung from HKTDC proudly expresses, “BODW has become one of Hong Kong’s annual mega events, and its positive impact on Asia’s design industry is evident to all. We are greatly looking forward to the synergistic effect that will be brought about with BODW 2024 in showcasing how design and innovation can enhance operations in the business world.”
