Chairman's Remarks

The Hong Kong Exporters’ Association has presented the Hong Kong Smart Design Awards for 14 editions, championing local design excellence and bridging creativity with commerce.
 
We are thrilled to announce its evolution into Smart Design Global (SDG) — elevating innovation and global collaboration in the design sector.
 
SDG highlights the power of exceptional product design in competitive markets. We will lead winners to the international stage, promote creative exchange, and boost Hong Kong talent’s visibility.
 
Participants will connect with experts for market insights, product refinement guidance, and stronger commercial potential. Rich networking will link designers and businesses with global buyers and distributors, unlocking new partnerships and opportunities.
 
Through SDG, we aim to enhance the industrial strength of Hong Kong designs, prepare them for worldwide success, nurture future design leaders, and drive economic growth via market-focused commercialization.
 
SDG will strengthen Hong Kong’s creative ecosystem, establish us as a leader in design-driven global trade, and reaffirm our commitment to innovation, collaboration, and excellence.
 
Together, let’s make smart design thrive on the global stage!
