We believe that creativity needs to be developed and nurtured in people for society to flourish. Through softer factors like theater works and concerts that uplift culture, and hard factors such as creative business that uplift our economy, the imprint of creative minds as instruments that develop our collective identity and the growth of our economy will be increasingly important. As a creative youth development and engagement agency, our goal is to create transformative experiences that uplift creative individuals, businesses, and communities. Creative Nation is a new organization incorporated in 2019 by Hyder Albar of Invasion Singapore, a youth arts and activation agency established in 2015. Our maiden programme, Creative Nation Singapore, is a youth conference that focuses on facilitating discussions between the creative community and government agencies to further explore Singapore’s future as a creative nation. The conference is built in partnership with the National Youth Council. Creative nation has also taken over the planning and execution of Invasion Singapore’s youth arts and activation programmes.
