KUL.CEF forum is a follow-up online conversation from the Creative Economy Forum that took place in October 2020. It is a Malaysian event to commemorate the International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development.

KUL.CEF will bring together the arts, donors and businesses together for mutual benefit to create a more vibrant, ambitious and sustainable cultural sector for the benefit of all Malaysians. The forum includes keynote, panel discussions on corporation and foundation priorities as well as opportunities to experience and meet with local and international representatives from the arts ecosystem in Malaysia and beyond.

Nurturing Malaysian creativity through collaborations, private giving and corporate social responsibility is essential, because it nurtures Malaysia as a whole. Therefore, better engagement with collaborators and business partners is paramount to a more effective and meaningful growth in the arts and creative economy.

KUL.CEF is a build-up event to CENDANA’s MOU Partner’s (BEKRAF via Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia) event, the World Cultural and Creative Economy Forum, taking place in Dubai in conjunction with Dubai Expo, 7-9 December 2021 with the theme, Inclusively Creative: Curating the Future.

KUL.CEF is organised with Perdana Fellows Alumni Association.
