Presented in a hybrid format for the first time, the annual Business of Design Week this year aimed at addressing timely topics relevant to the post-pandemic era in order to help participants navigate through the uncertainty.
Under the theme “VISION 20/21”, the week-long event, which took place between 30 November and 5 December, brought to Hong Kong more than 100 influential design and business leaders to shed light on topics related to the post-pandemic era, ranging from branding, health, travel, economy, technology, creativity, work and living spaces as well as design and culture. A new “BODW Great British Design” video series also took place this year to showcase the designs of 14 creative leaders from the UK.
