About the summit

The Young Creative Economy Summit gathers young designers, filmmakers, musicians and studio founders in Singapore to work on how creative work is made, protected and paid for.

Singapore’s mix of design schools, production stages and intellectual-property practice makes it a sharp setting for a creative-economy summit.

Hosted under the Summits Connect network, the summit combines keynotes, workshops, small-group sessions and structured networking.
