Most importantly, bodw+ represents an entirely new paradigm and has seamlessly supported HKDC’s hybrid and tribrid events in both 2021 and 2022, contributing to a significant increase in viewership.
Since its launch, bodw+ has met with positive feedback from HKDC’s stakeholders, including government partners, strategic partner countries, sponsors, education institutions and the general public. Going forward, bodw+ will continue to inspire global audiences with a curated, expanding selection of content that covers creative developments in the region’s design scene.

Featuring the latest insights on seminal design trends, bodw+ provides evergreen content in the form of live broadcasting, podcasts and webinars, exclusive interviews and event directory, fostering creative exchange within a vibrant community built on a member subscription model. On top of all these is a programme archive, starting with over 600 videos in 2021 from Business of Design Week (BODW) and Knowledge of Design Week (KODW) — HKDC’s flagship programmes — in three languages: English, Putonghua, and Cantonese.
Everything started 20 years ago, when HKDC first introduced ‘Business of Design Week’, or ‘BODW’ in 2002, which has evolved into Asia’s premier event on design, innovation and brands.
In the past two decades, BODW has also strengthened collaborations across borders, having joined forces with 13 partner countries and cities.

With content accessible anytime to anyone around the world, the possibilities for bodw+ are endless in the digital age. It will be safe to say that bodw+ also plays an role in advancing HKDC’s mission to promote the wide and strategic use of design, as the organisation strives to strengthen Hong Kong’s position as an international hub of design excellence.
