CREATIVE ECONOMY AGENCY (CEA)
The long-term potential of the creative economy as an empowering movement toward a balanced and sustainable economy is served by the Creative Economy Agency (public organization) or (CEA).
The construction of an economic district is one of CEA's key responsibilities. We achieve this through promoting and developing locations that are suitable for a creative environment and launching a new business, as well as by seeking to make connections with the local communities. The Thai economy and society are improved by creativity in three major areas: creative people, creative businesses, and creative places. Therefore, CEA supports the growth of the creative industry, including at the regional level.
