Call For Applications: Creative Leap Acceleration Program (CLAP) (Training, International Market Exposure and Funding)
We are dedicated to fostering the growth of Creatives & their ventures. CLAP is central to the Honourable Ministers FMACCEs’ core objectives of expanding the Cultural and Creative Economy (CCE) to $100bn by 2030 and creating 2 million jobs. In line with CLAP’s mantra “leaving no one behind”, the CLAP platform will deliver through aggregating resources and securing partnerships with a broad range of organizations that cover every facet of the space.
The Creative and Cultural Industries (CCIs) as drivers of both economic growth and cultural engagement primarily generate income through the trade and commercialisation of intellectual property rights whilst creating new jobs in higher occupational skills, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises.
With advancements in technology, especially the digital and streaming revolutions, creative and knowledge-based industries have become leaders in disruption and innovation, emerging amongst the most dynamic sectors in the global economy. In addition to its economic benefits, cultural and creative industries generate non-monetary value that can contribute significantly to achieving people-centered, inclusive, and sustainable development.
