Site Visit to AiDLab and HKRITA

Technology is undoubtedly changing the fashion industry from design to merchandising. In the age of digital transformation, our industry has been witnessing a shift to relying more on Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence (AI). To adapt to the new trend and gain more understanding of the latest development in this area, the Hong Kong Intimate Apparel Industries’ Association (HKIAIA), Hong Kong Institution of Textile and Apparel (HKITA), Hong Kong Knitwear Exporters & Manufacturers Association (HKKEMA), Knitwear Innovation and Design Society (KIDS) and Sustainable Fashion Business Consortium (SFBC) co-organize a site visit to two research laboratories, Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence in Design (AiDLab) and the Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel (HKRITA) located in the Hong Kong Science Park.

AiDLab is the first research platform that focuses on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with design, while HKRITA is an applied research centre for the textile, apparel, and fashion industries. The visitors will be able to get a grasp on the research projects that strive to make a positive impact on the fashion industry.

The visit will be conducted as follows:
