BODW In the City 2025
Past Events
BODW In the City, an exciting citywide design initiative organised by the Hong Kong Design Centre with the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency as the lead sponsor, aims to amplify the impact of Business of Design Week (BODW) in the city; to engage tourists and the public while activating Brand and Venue Partners.

Running from November 24 to December 7, 2025, this vibrant event showcases Hong Kong's commitment to design excellence and creativity in a way that contributes to the local economy. This year’s theme, ‘CurioCity,’ aligns with BODW’s overarching theme of ‘Curiosity,’ sparking a curious perspective among the public.

With over 30 events organised by various organisations, businesses, and cultural venues, this initiative transforms Hong Kong's design destinations into dynamic spaces filled with installations, programmes, exhibitions, workshops, performances, etc. By seamlessly blending cultural and commercial elements, BODW In the City invites everyone to experience how design enhances everyday life and business operations.
