The food delivery industry is one of the least sustainable, relying heavily on transportation and packaging, which has an adverse effect on the environment. Environmental entrepreneurs and renowned Mott 32 founders Matt Reid and Malcolm Wood are working to shorten the food delivery chain by offering an alternative model of smart urban dining, combining public food halls and ghost kitchens to serve densely populated communities. Their goal is to create a zero-waste society while offering a wide variety of culinary brands to serve the market.

The loss of land and biodiversity to urban expansion has negatively impacted cities across the world, creating worsening pollution and heat. More advanced cities are already investing in rebuilding with clean energy resources. The eco-makeover requires radical thinking in architecture to bring nature back to the drawing board. Cities can thrive and become more liveable if we understand how to build in an eco-friendly manner. Join us as we learn how to build better with regenerative design.

Many industries are responsible for an enormous amount of waste that typically end up in landfills, especially carbon-heavy sectors which use materials like plastics and cement. In recent years, however, designers, architects, and manufacturers have attempted to reduce their environmental footprint and provide sustainable alternatives by leveraging the discoveries of material science. Despite having a long way to go, scientists offer hope to designers and businesses willing to dive into innovation and adopt a regenerative mindset.

Our food system accounts for more than 30 per cent of all carbon emissions and exacts a heavy toll on the environment. How can technological innovations become a tool in minimising our carbon footprint? Self-sufficient greenhouses can thrive in the most demanding regions on earth. As regions that produce vast quantities of fruit and vegetables will inevitably experience extreme weather, greenhouse agriculture could offer a sustainable solution that nourishes humans and the planet.

While neglect often happens to elderly and people with disabilities amid rapid development of society, their living standards have seen adverse impact during the pandemic. The current healthcare system and wellness services are hardly sufficient to meet their needs. To address this, more practical action is needed to further reduce barriers, create equitable access, and deliver a more holistic wellness experience. Inclusive design may be the answer to making densely populated urban centres more liveable across society’s different sectors. While diversity, equity, and inclusivity initiatives are progressing, evolving wellness design can better protect and engage at-risk communities and speak to people of different ages and abilities.

The world’s pivot toward circular design, while still in nascent stages for many, could be a game-changer for regenerative pursuits. With most products and services designed for the linear economy, which has proven wasteful for a planet with finite resources, we must reverse course and approach design with circularity as the goal.  

Joe Iles, Circular Design Programme Lead of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, shares how design can advance the transition, and the most innovative design strategies in successful circular practices today.

Population growth presents many challenges for city planners, especially when it comes to transport.  

From adding EV charging stations to taking diesel-fueled vehicles off the streets, cities are bent on incorporating greater connectivity and improved sustainability in their urban transport ecosystems. 

But electric vehicles might not be the only answer — better mobility can include digital transformations of rail networks and other systemic solutions.

As the problems that regenerative design deals with are inherently complex, the solutions proposed by this discipline must also exist in multitudes. As such, it is crucial for innovators to gain a comprehensive understanding of the topic through investigations in its system, business, social and material levels.

This workshop will start with how The Fabrick Lab creates and demonstrates material creation through prototyping with a multi-disciplinary approach, and going beyond, participants will be guided through the process to come up with a persuasive business statement and proposition that integrate varied aspects of regenerative design into the supply chain. Join us and learn how to establish a creative business in a collaborative manner, co-create a compelling presentation supported with sustainable materials, and pitch your ideas with the lingo of regenerative design.

In the age of the experience economy, the rules of what brands are and how they are created and managed have changed. Brands are no longer just attracting customers and creating value – they are now dynamic, living, breathing entities that need to be co-created with users, to capture the value generated, and ultimately to grow with users.

In this workshop, you will be introduced to the core concepts behind User Brands and how to leverage eXperience Thinking (or what we call “X Thinking” ) to create, manage, and sustainably grow a business sustainable brand via delivery of exceptional experiences, with a discussion on application of X Thinking® in the context of the Mainland China’s market.

Denim has deep roots in human history and culture, but have you imagined how innovations in denim making has reacted to the sustainability topic, in terms of environmental, technological and economical perspectives?

In this workshop, learn from masters how the industry has rediscovered the relationship between post-consumer denim, natural material, and traditional craft to create more sustainable solutions in denim making. You will also gain a hands-on experience on making your own natural-dyed denim fabric.

Modern design is far more than just style and the latest fashion. Design has the power to change the narrative, shape the way we think and guide the choices we make. The denim industry faces major challenges in how to reduce the usage of water, power, carbon and the raw materials that go into making, shipping and selling our products and reduce our carbon footprint, etc., to be in line with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The next generation of designers, merchandisers and buyers will have major sustainability challenges to overcome. In this masterclass, we will layout the sustainability challenges in the denim industry and discuss the current and near future solutions that can take us from an outdated linear system of “take, make, waste” to a new circular economy where products that come to the end of their lifecycle become the fabrics and fuel for new products. If we truly want everything to stay the same, then everything must change.

What does “metaverse” mean to you? Meet The Sandbox, one of the world’s leading metaverse platforms, a virtual gaming world where players can build and own their gaming experiences powered by blockchains and NFTs. But gaming is only the beginning of its unlimited possibilities – international and local brands like Gucci, Adidas and MTR are already collaborating with The Sandbox to build out their own metaverse.

The workshop is a can’t miss opportunity to learn directly from the creators of The Sandbox how it is built and played by over 2 million users around the globe. It will start with a short presentation by Sebastien Borget, the company’s Co-Founder and COO, to introduce this decentralised, community-driven gaming ecosystem where created assets can be shared to co-create metaverse. This is followed by project showcases presented by Erich Wong, The Sandbox’s Head of Growth (HK), along with two local creative studios, PANGU by Kenal and Index Game, to illustrate why metaverse is more than games, who are behind the creation of the virtual worlds, and how creators have captured the opportunities to transform brand experiences and beyond.

This workshop is delivered in blended mode: you can join the workshop virtually or physically, yet only on-site participants can join an exclusive tutorial session, led by PANGU by Kenal, to create your own metaverse asset for use on the Sandbox platform.
