The 3'd WCCE is a continuation of the 1't WCCE in Bali, November 2018, and the 2nd WCCE in Dubai, December 2021. lndonesia's initiative for WCCE was originated from the country's observation that the creative economy has become the fastest growing sector in the world, which contributes to around 3o/o of the global GDP and employs approximately 30 million people across the globe. Acknowledging its own potential as a country with rich culture, large middle-class population and rapid growtfr ot digitalization, as well as a globally widespread trend of valuing culture and creative talents, lndonesia took the lead in bringing the creative economy into a global spotlight by initiating the WCCE. Furthermore, lndonesia initiated and co-sponsored Resolution No. A/RES/741198, adopted at the 74th Session of the UN General Assembly, which established year 2021as the lnternational year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development. The 3'd WCCE will be held under main theme "lnclusively Creative: A Global Recovery," highlighting the importance of integrating the creative economy into the global economic recovery, As the world is racing towards recovery, we have to grab a chance to elevate the creative economy on the global economic agenda, as well as to enhance the sector's significance and effectiveness in delivering inclusive and sustainable growth.

Through dialogue and exchange of views, the 3'd WCCE intends to adopt an Outcome Document called "Creative Economy Roadmap for Global Recovery," which could become a reference for Governments and other stakeholders to accentuate the creative economy in the postpandemic recovery and unleash its potential for inclusive and sustainable development. The 3'd WCCE will become a great venue for Governments, business sectors, creative economy entrepreneurs, academics and other stakeholders around the world to share views, get insights, expand networks, showcase achievements, and explore possible cooperation which serve their best interests. ln the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and other global crisis, the 3'd WCCE presents itself as a leading collaborative forum for enhancing the role of creativity in the global economy and renewing global partnerships to better support the creative economy. lndonesia looks fonruard to warmly welcoming delegates in beautiful island of Bali for the 3'd WCCE. ---000--- website: https ://wcce. id/ httos ://twitter. com/wcceid https ://www. i nstag ram.com/wcceid/ Further enquiries and questions: .
