Hong Kong Innovation Hub: Code Create and Its AI Fashion Venture

Hong Kong's AI Fashion Start-Up Aims Global Reach

Code-Create, a Hong Kong fashion-design software provider, is teaming up with a local venture capital fund to raise capital for its expansion plan, targeting key markets in mainland China and South Korea for a start.

The start-up aims to raise at least US$2 million by the end of 2025 with the help of Eschange Capital, its strategic investment partner. Funds will be used to support marketing, team build-up, and software enhancements to achieve its goals.

The Market Potential in Asia

“China as a market has huge potential,” co-founder and CEO Kim Wong said at a media briefing, adding that Code-Create already has a presence on various mainland social platforms. “We want to reach the global market.”

Innovations in Design with AiDA Software

The AiDA (Artificial Intelligence-based Interactive Design Assistant for Fashion) software utilizes a range of AI technologies to cater to designers’ needs during the conceptualization and design process. It accelerates the product development process from creative concept to product launch.

• First introduced in December 2022.
• Used by brands including Anteprima and Hupan Design Institute.
• Generates new designs based on a designer’s sketches and desired themes.

Future Plans and Market Operations

Code-Create, a spin-off from AiDLab, has already proven profitable in its last financial year. With plans to introduce another AI-based software integrating product libraries for styling advice, it stands to reshape various fashion sectors.

Together with Eschange Capital, they aim to list on the Hong Kong stock exchange within five years, focusing on the significant yet niche potential of AI technology in fashion.
