CCIF is a strategic dialogue and cooperation platform that brings together the creative industries ecosystem (art, design, fashion, cinema, digital games, etc.) with representatives of international diplomatic missions and business leaders.

No, CCIF is designed as a sustainable platform that will be held annually. Each year’s gathering will be a step toward realizing this vision.

CCIF goes beyond traditional conference formats. It combines networking events, B2G and B2B meetings with an exclusive cocktail reception, inspiring participants with interactive and immersive cultural experiences. High-level panels and strategic networking sessions are accompanied by events such as innovative fashion shows where designs are showcased to the audience, live performances, and art installations.

Participation is by invitation only in order to maintain the Forum’s targeted strategic focus and atmosphere of sincere dialogue.

We invite valued cultural professionals, institutional representatives, and commercial entrepreneurs with projects aligned with the Forum’s mission and interested in participating in this platform to contact us via our contact page.

We are pleased to collaborate with organizations that share the Forum’s vision. Our official sponsorship program and its terms and conditions will be announced to the public at the beginning of 2026. You may contact us for preliminary discussions.

The Forum offers you direct access to diplomatic mission representatives and international business leaders who are normally difficult to reach, strategic market opportunities to bring your products and services to global markets, and the chance to gain prestige and visibility by showcasing your work on a high-level stage.

The Forum offers you the opportunity to discover Turkey’s dynamic creative economy firsthand, find potential partners for cultural cooperation projects between your country and Turkey, and identify new business opportunities for investors in your country. This is a unique platform for strengthening your cultural diplomacy network.

The Forum directly serves Turkey’s national goals of increasing cultural exports, strengthening international promotion, and enhancing its “soft power” capacity. Furthermore, it demonstrates Turkey’s commitment to cultural diversity on the international stage through concrete action in line with the principles of the 2005 UNESCO Convention.
