Why Batik Lestari Wants To Drive The Batik Economy with Corporates

How can Corporate Malaysia and the private sector support Malaysian batik? In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we dive into this and much more with Datuk Seri Abdul Jalil Hamid, from the Securities Commission Malaysia, and Zainariah Johari, from MyCreative Ventures, as they share the vision behind Batik Lestari, its role in reshaping the batik economy, and how corporate Malaysia can contribute to long-term growth for this cherished art form.

Launched by the Securities Commission Malaysia and MyCreative Ventures, the Batik Lestari initiative aims to empower local artisans, support MSMEs, and elevate Malaysian batik on the global stage.

With over 80 submissions to its national design competition, the program wants to foster cultural authenticity, sustainability, and innovation while positioning batik as both an economic driver and a cultural ambassador ahead of Malaysia’s ASEAN Chairmanship in 2025.

The Batik Lestari Festival is open to the public from 10AM till 5PM on the 5th and 6th of December 2024 at the Securities Commission Malaysia, Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur. The 2-day event will feature a batik exhibition, workshops, film screenings and a curated batik retail market featuring local batik brands.
