Unveiled during the opening ceremony of Philippine Creative Industries Month (PCIM) 2024 on Sept. 3, the platform aims to connect, educate, and elevate creatives across the country.
Trade Assistant Secretary Leonila T. Baluyut, representing DTI-Competitiveness and Innovation Group Undersecretary Rafaelita Aldaba, said the launch of the website was a significant step toward positioning the creative sector as a key driver of economic growth and cultural development.
“Our new digital platform is set to become the ultimate hub for Filipino creatives—a comprehensive one-stop destination where you can connect with fellow artists and industry leaders,” said Baluyut.
Accessible at philippinecreativeindustries.com, the website provides a wide range of resources, including networking tools, educational materials, and funding opportunities. It also features a calendar of events, job boards, and updates on government programs aimed at supporting creative professionals.
Key features of the website:
Connect Tab: Facilitates networking within the creative community.
Learn Tab: Provides access to educational resources and training programs.
Fund Tab: Shares information on grants and funding opportunities.
Work Tab: Connects job seekers with industry employers.
Plans and Programs Tab: Highlights government initiatives for the sector.
This digital platform fulfills the mandate of Republic Act No. 11904, the Philippine Creative Industries Development Act, which designates the DTI as the lead agency responsible for maintaining a central information hub for the industry.
The launch reaffirms the government's commitment to raising the profile of the creative sector as a vital pillar of economic growth.
