HONG KONG, Dec. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/
Business of Design Week (BODW), Asia s annual flagship event on design, innovation and brands held its 2020 edition from 30 November to 5 December. Organised by Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC) and co-organised by Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), with Create Hong Kong (CreateHK) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR Government) as the Lead Sponsor, BODW 2020 was successfully concluded with its BODW Summit held as a hybrid event simulcast live on multiple platforms for the first time. From 3 to 5 December, the BODW 2020 Summit connected global creative visionaries with international participants from around the world in over 50 sessions.
The live conversation also covered the role of collaboration in the design industry, how to turn discourse into action, and the ways in which sustainability could work as a business strategy. The obstacles for a very traditional, 120-year manufacturer like Johnson Tiles are very different to those of an entrepreneurial business like The Good Plastic Company, said Bridges. As the UK s only surviving large scale tile manufacturer, we ve had to navigate our industrial set-up to move forward sustainably; both to address the environmental crisis and to stay in business, he added.
