Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC) is an independent non-profit organization, founded in September 2002 with full support from the SAR Government and the Hong Kong Jockey Club, with the objective to encourage and promote local design excellence and a vision to establish Hong Kong as a design hub in the international arena. HKDC has four founding members, namely, the Hong Kong Designers Association; the Hong Kong Interior Designers Association; the Hong Kong Fashion Designers Association and the Hong Kong Chartered Society of Designers, representing about 1,000 members of the design industry.

The HKDC works with Government, business partners and associations to promote design as a strategic, value-adding component in business. In essence, HKDC serves as a link between businesses and designers in Hong Kong. HKDC is the first organization in Hong Kong dedicated to using all their resources in promoting design for business. It aims to encourage, inspire, support and facilitate the best use of design in the business world. By so doing, HKDC strives to contribute to the sustainable competitiveness, economic prosperity and overall well-being of Hong Kong.

HKDC is active in organizing events and activities that promote the use of design in business. By creating a sense of belonging among designers in Hong Kong, it offers a united platform where ideas, knowledge and information can be shared not just throughout the design community but also local business sectors as well. HKDC disseminates information and maintains open channels of communication with international design organizations, keeping Hong Kong abreast of the rest of the world.
