Creativity Shines: A Blend of Technology, Tradition and Care for Sustainability

The future of the fashion and textile industry will be characterised by sustainability, digital transformation, and technology integration. The industry will prioritise sustainable and ethical production practices while embracing digital technologies and e-commerce platforms to expand market reach, improve operational efficiency, and drive sales. The Government's support for arts, culture, and creative industries will create opportunities for eastern and western cultural integration. To fuel further growth in the industry and position Hong Kong as a global hub for artistic expression and creativity, it is essential to attract young creative talents who can bring fresh ideas, innovation, and energy. Additionally, engaging retired experienced artisans can help preserve valuable traditional craftsmanship and inspire young professionals to combine traditional techniques with modern practices.

Regain Momentum under Normalisation

When the world gradually picks up its step to normality after the pandemic years, international fashion brands and manufacturers are eager to resume sales and production to prepare for the bounce back. Hong Kong as a global sourcing hub should have its practitioners well equipped for the digital technology application in design and production, consumers’ expectations on ESG, and e-commerce development that further drives the fashion and textile industry. The young generation who aspire to join the industry should also develop a global perspective and understand the Greater Bay Area for the opportunities of the huge market and demand for quality products.
