Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence in Design (AiDLab)

Region's First Research Platform for AI in Design Innovation

Design is integral to the fabric of Hong Kong’s heritage and it is a key component in virtually every industry that contributes to the city’s economic growth. The Greater Bay Area has a well-established collaborative design environment encompassing industry, professional communities and researchers. Such qualities, together with InnoHK’s supportive infrastructure, make Hong Kong an ideal nurturing ground for talent across all disciplines to collectively strive for research excellence.

Region's First Research Platform for AI in Design Innovation

Technology innovation can greatly enhance the design of products and services. Today, artificial intelligence (AI) integrated with data science on human aesthetics and behaviour, is empowering the transformation of many industries such as fashion, healthcare, manufacturing and retail to customise experiences and products for consumers.

The Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence in Design (AiDLab) mission is to uncover knowledge and methods based on scientific principles that can lead to innovative designs, novel processes and creative products. Our experts apply cutting edge technologies to address industry demands for efficiency, automation and customisation of products and services. AiDLab is the global leader in interdisciplinary AI and design innovations. Our leading research creates a positive impact on the global design industry, contribute to the wider economy, and improves the quality of life.
