About Reinventing with Design (ReD)
 
Innovate through Creativity

The world is in a perpetual state of flux. In the midst of uncertainty, the best measure of defense is to innovate through creativity. Introduced in 2006, Reinventing with Design (ReD) is a strategic platform that helps local industries and designers stay ahead of shifting demands through an intense programme. ReD comprises conference, seminars, workshops, forums, and networking luncheon.

The ReD 2009 programme will focus on Reinventing Industries in Pearl River Delta.

Why the Pearl River Delta…
While much of the world continues to suffer adversely from the global recession, the Chinese economy, in contrast, remains poised for considerable growth. In the past, many Hong Kong businesses have reaped success by leveraging the Pearl River Delta’s (PRD) enormous manufacturing capacity to create low end products for regional and global consumers. However, this overly simplistic approach will prove unfit for use in tomorrow’s China, when burgeoning growth ultimately improves living standards.
 
Transform and reinvent traditional industries…
The promise of an exploding population of affluent, discerning consumers will likely require adjustments from Hong Kong’s industries. Success will depend on how these businesses transform and reinvent strategies, using design to shift focus from the narrow feat of making low-end offerings to creating products and services that encompass robust brand experiences and rewarding customer relationships.
 
Expert analysis on how to conquer challenges and sustain business…
The ReD 2009 programme is tailored to introduce the latest in proven methodologies, market analysis and expert insights that contemplates how to best immerse design into our industries for constructive results. Widely eclectic, the programme features case studies from visionaries who hold notable first hand knowledge in attaining success within the PRD. Apart from ReD’s main conference, intense participatory design workshops by experts from a variety of disciplines systematically impart vital expertise, ensuring pertinent enhancement of design intelligence.
 
Who Should Attend
ReD 2009 is aimed at forward thinking designers, CEOs, and senior managers and executives from business, civil service and education keen to learn from proven international experts on how to stay several steps ahead of the competition.
