******************************************************************************************
The Permanent Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Ms Vivian Sum, attended the opening ceremony of the Licensing Show this morning and visited the exhibition to explore licensing industry trends. The Under Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Mr Raistlin Lau, hosted the DLAB Hong Kong Pavilion Launching Ceremony in the afternoon. Their presence demonstrated the Government's support for bolstering Hong Kong's position as the regional IP trading centre. CCIDA has been facilitating collaborative projects involving potential cultural IPs across a range of sectors, including animation and comics, printing and publishing, design, film, and art technology, further propelling the cultural and creative industries as an important driving force for Hong Kong's economic development.
With professional training, workshops and mentorship by the advisory committee under the DLAB Support Scheme, designers transform Hong Kong's unique cultural heritage into commercially viable designs, and eventually showcase their creations through the Hong Kong Pavilion to buyers and industry professionals from around the world. In addition, CCIDA earlier sponsored designers to participate in a study mission to the Greater Bay Area (GBA), facilitating collaboration with industry players in the region and enabling expansion into the GBA and the wider Chinese Mainland market.
CCIDA has sponsored the DLAB Support Scheme since 2018 for seven consecutive editions, having supported over 300 local creative enterprises and facilitating over 5 000 business contacts and matching cases in total. For more information on the scheme, please visit www.dlabhk.com.
