The Cultural Expressions and Creative Industries Diplomatic Forum (CCIF) is a pioneering strategic platform designed to bring together leaders from Turkey’s dynamic creative sectors with representatives from the international diplomatic community and key public institutions. Our core mission is to transform the profound impact of cultural diplomacy into tangible economic and social partnerships. We aim to open new global avenues for our country’s talent and innovation, thereby strengthening its central position on the global creativity map. Creating a unique environment for high-level dialogue, CCIF acts as a catalyst that transforms creative sectoral efforts into strategic soft power and promotes deeper international understanding.

Going beyond the boundaries of traditional conferences, CCIF advocates an “Interactive Diplomacy” model. Our annual gatherings are designed not as static events, but as immersive experiences. We facilitate genuine connections through structured B2G (Business to Government) networking sessions, innovative “living exhibitions,” and carefully curated artistic performances. This approach ensures that every interaction is meaningful, paving the way for unique collaborations and lasting strategic alliances.
