Business of Design Week (BODW) 2025 • 3-5 December 9:00am – 6:00pm • Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) Organiser(s): Hong Kong Design Centre

Abstract: Business of Design Week (BODW) is Asia’s leading annual event on design, innovation and brands, organised by Hong Kong Design Centre since 2002. It brings together top design masters, brand leaders and entrepreneurs from Hong Kong and around the world to explore the value of design and spark new business opportunities. This year, BODW celebrates the spirit of curiosity that drives innovation in both Italy and Hong Kong. Italian creativity thrives on cross-disciplinary exchange, reflected in its excellence across arts, architecture, fashion and manufacturing—hallmarks of the “Made in Italy” legacy. Hong Kong’s design scene similarly blends Eastern wisdom with Western influence, embracing bold experimentation to push boundaries and create meaningful cultural and design breakthroughs. Both communities exemplify how curiosity and creativity shape enduring legacies and fuel design excellence. Registration Link: https://2025.bodw.com/en/ticketing Website: https://2025.bodw.com/en
