"KLDW Festival is more than just a festival. It is about cultivating a new generation. For Malaysia, for Vision 2020. And as the KLDW Festival becomes more cohesive, we will see the emergence of a freshly shaped community; whose energy, passion and optimism diffuse throughout the globe and the minds of a new generation that powers the new economy. In the interim, it will encourage and provide creative individuals and entrepreneurs a run for their talents, knowledge, experiences and investments - for their personal benefits and for the country’s new creative economy to grow." - Kuala Lumpur Design Week
