Conceived in 2004 as collateral series of events running parallel to BODW, DETOUR consists of a series of programmes incorporating the most original, bold and stimulating ideas from Hong Kong and across the world. This year, Hong Kong Ambassadors of Design join hands with Hong Kong Design Centre to organize 10 amazing days of DETOUR 2013. We believe that design, innovation and creativity are vital for a culture, economy and society to pursue sustainable competitiveness. DETOUR helps position Hong Kong as a hub for Greater China’s design capabilities.
DETOUR aims to create a knowledge network of young talents, emerging designers/artists and is designed to engage the larger population and let the entire city come together to celebrate the creative ventures. DETOUR has been consistently recognized by the creative industries, educational partners and business sectors as one of the most popular events in Hong Kong.
