Our Programmes

Business of Design Week (BODW), Asia's premier annual event on design, innovation, and brands since 2002, connects global design masters, brand leaders, and entrepreneurs to explore innovation, spark inspiration and unlock business opportunities. Switzerland is the partner country for BODW in 2026.

BODW In the City transforms Hong Kong into a design destination through citywide exhibitions, workshops and creative programmes. This HKDC initiative, with CCIDA as Lead Sponsor, celebrates design excellence across cultural and commercial spaces.

DFA Awards celebrates design excellence in Asia since 2003, honouring projects and designers who blend innovation, cultural heritage and commercial success to enhance communities.

Fashion Asia connects global fashion talents, industry leaders and creative minds through dynamic initiatives, forums and exhibitions. This Hong Kong SAR Government programme champions design collaboration and innovation through signature events like the Fashion Challenges Forum and '10 Asian Designers to Watch'.

Whether you are building a business foundation or preparing for your next stage of growth, HKDC now offers two distinct yet complementary programmes to help design entrepreneurs strengthen capabilities, expand opportunities and achieve long-term success. 

Building on BODW’s legacy, the bodw+ Series fosters knowledge exchange and collaboration between BODW’s partner country and Hong Kong, convening visionary design leaders to explore the latest trends and share their expertise.
