REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, NUSA DUA -- The second World Conference on Creative Economy (WCCE) will be organized in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, in 2020. Triawan Munaf, head of the National Creative Economy Agency (Bekraf) informed the press here on Thursday.
Dubai was viewed as a suitable location for holding the WCCE due to being strategically located, coupled with the availability of sound facilities and infrastructure, Munaf stated. Moreover, Indonesia, which owns the WCCE brand, is keen to see a country that has transformed from a natural resources-based economy into a creative economy one.
"We also want to see a transformation of an Arab country, such as Saudi, which has been transformed from an oil to a creative industry base," he stated.
Bogota, the capital of Colombia, is also interested in hosting the next WCCE.
