Transforming Local | Adapt / Enhance / Local / Grow

Not only is Chiang Mai an ideal destination as it has been a treasure trove of art, culture, and a burgeoning creative industry, but the city, despite the challenges posed by an aging society, has also witnessed a remarkable resurgence in its creative economy following the end of a global crisis. Embracing its rich heritage and forward-thinking spirit, Chiang Mai continues to flourish, producing cheerful growth in its creative endeavors. These new opportunities, growing beyond limitations, are brought to life by a dynamic mix of local creatives, visionary entrepreneurs, active citizens, and the ‘homecoming’ young generation returning to their roots. Infused with their diverse experiences and perspectives, they uncover new possibilities from the city’s rich local assets, giving birth to unique designs, lifestyles, and profound pride in their identities.

Join us as we proudly celebrate the 9th anniversary of Chiang Mai Design Week. This year, we warmly invite designers, thinkers, creatives, entrepreneurs, artists, homecoming individuals, and all creative enthusiasts to unite under the theme ‘TRANSFORMING LOCAL: Adapt / Enhance / Local / Grow.’ Let’s create a vibrant creative space where we connect and exchange fresh inspirations and ideas, enriching our local wisdom with newfound creative possibilities. Leveraging the power of the international creative industry network, we will elevate the quality of life for our community, revitalize the economy, and enhance market competitiveness.

Most importantly, this event will shine a proud spotlight on Chiang Mai’s unique identity, elevating its recognition on the global stage. Be a part of this transformative journey as we shape our beloved city’s future of creativity and innovation.
