SDEC hosts TikTok Malaysia in Kuching, fostering collaboration and empowering local content creators

KUCHING, 12 JULY 2023 – Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation (SDEC) proudly played host to TikTok Malaysia in an exciting adventure in Kuching from 9 to 11 July 2023.

Driven by the recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between both parties, SDEC joined forces with TikTok Malaysia to organise a networking session attended by content creators, representatives from agencies, and industry professionals in Kuching with the aim to share ideas, forge meaningful connections, and explore innovative collaborations.

Manager of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Department of SDEC Khairool Adzelan expressed his enthusiasm on the collaboration, stating that since January 2023, both parties had conducted six TikTok related programmes in Kota Samarahan, Serian, Sri Aman, Kapit, and Lawas.

“Collectively, 135 individuals have benefitted from the programme, and we are keen to explore how we can continuously track their growth on the platform. Looking ahead, we have TikTok Bootcamp Programme in Kuching, Sibu and Miri scheduled from 15 to 21 July,” he added.

The visit went beyond networking as the TikTok team also went on a cultural visit to Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV) and attended a press conference for the Sarawak Harvest and Folklore Festival 2023 hosted by SCV.

SDEC hopes that the visit has opened doors to endless opportunities and forged a path toward future collaborations. SDEC and TikTok Malaysia remain committed to fostering an ecosystem of collaboration, creativity, and economic empowerment particularly for the benefit of Sarawakians.
