Co-Creating Culture’s Future

Our mission is to build a collaborative ecosystem that connects the arts and culture sector with diverse industries — breaking old norms to spark bold innovations. Imagine telco companies providing benefits for artists, banks supporting cultural entrepreneurs, or new careers emerging like AI Culture Designers, robotic batik developers, and 3D-printed Serunai or Rebab music apps. We believe tech developers can co-create with artisans and Mak Yong practitioners, just as smart city planners can work alongside bangsawan theatre communities. By bridging these unexpected partners, we open doors for creative solutions that keep Malaysia’s cultural heritage alive, relevant, and thriving for generations to come.

About CRESDO

The Creative and Cultural Strategic Development Organization (CRESDO) is a registered organization under the Registry of Societies Malaysia, established to represent and strengthen the voices of Malaysia’s diverse creative and cultural sectors.

We bring together artists, artisans, entrepreneurs, educators, digital creators, and cultural practitioners to build a vibrant, inclusive, and future-ready ecosystem. Our work bridges tradition and innovation, advancing cultural industries through commercialization, digital transformation, and strategic global positioning.

CRESDO acts as a catalyst for change, empowering its members through capacity-building programs, industry research, market access, and cross-sector collaborations. We advocate for sustainable development, inclusive growth, and cultural resilience, locally and internationally.

From grassroots initiatives to national partnerships, we are committed to unlocking the full potential of Malaysia’s cultural economy and ensuring its impact for generations to come.

At CRESDO, preservation of arts and culture does not mean simply storing them in museums for admiration. Instead, it means making them commercially viable and relevant to today’s society and future generations.

We believe that culture must be lived, not just displayed. Our vision is to integrate arts and culture into everyday life, through digitalization, education, urban planning, and daily interactions. So, they become part of how we live, learn, and grow. Cultural elements shouldn’t merely serve as visual decor, architectural motifs, or tourist attractions. They should breathe life into communities, influence how we engage with technology, and shape the very rhythm of our environments.

We aim to embed culture as a living identity. Not as a symbol of the past, but as a foundation for innovation, societal unity, and economic empowerment. In a multicultural nation like Malaysia, where diverse traditions coexist, this approach fosters shared experiences and meaningful connections, creating a society that thrives on cultural richness and unity in diversity.

Now is the time to act. Every small step we take today brings us closer to a future where culture is not only preserved but lived, celebrated, and empowered in every aspect of our lives.
