Chairman's Remarks

The Hong Kong Smart Design Awards (HKSDA) has been devoted to unveil the brilliance of Hong Kong original design to the world and encourage local manufacturers and exporters to reform business strategy in attaining “Design x Strategy x Technology = Smart Business” since 2012.
 
Marching to its 12-year milestone, HKSDA has become an industrial signature event among local sectors including gifts, product design and procurement and built renowned reputation of its quality among overseas buyers through an a spectrum of local and oversea activities catering for both B2B and B2C, i.e. trade fairs to reach out buyers, roving exhibition in shopping malls or community to raise public’s awareness of HKSDA.
 
Over the years, HKSDA keeps its dynamic momentum by the expansion of eligible product category from Gifts to Home & Houseware (launched in 2017 edition) and Toys & Games (launched in 2020 edition). It aims at further extending the beneficiaries to enlarge the pool of design talents to be nurtured to achieve the ultimate goal “Brand Hong Kong as the most influencing Design Force in Asia”.
