Cloud 11 has announced its readiness to become Asia's new Creative Destination by creating the most comprehensive Creative Ecosystem in the region, equipped with spaces, studios, facilities, courses, and programs for creators. The initiative will collaborate with 30 partners from both national and international levels, including renowned institutions in film and content production such as the New York Film Academy and CJ ENM, as well as organizations in music and entertainment like SM Entertainment, 88rising, and 1500 Sound Academy.

Cloud 11 aims to enhance the potential and elevate Thailand's creative industry to the forefront of the global stage, with services set to launch by the end of 2025.

Mr. Ongsa Janya Prasert, CEO of Cloud 11, stated: “Cloud 11 is born from our confidence in the potential of Thailand's creative industry. We see a growing number of talented Thai creators gaining international recognition. However, we also find that this industry remains fragmented and lacks sufficient holistic support.”

“We want Cloud 11 to be more than just a real estate project; we aim to create the most comprehensive hub for creators in the region under the concept of ‘Empowering Creators’ with infrastructure specifically designed for the creative sector. This includes facilities, personnel, funding, and amenities that connect the entire ecosystem from upstream to downstream, fostering a network that integrates creators from beginners to professionals to support sustainable growth and global reach.”

“Currently, the Cloud 11 project is over 90% complete, and we are ready for a soft opening by the end of 2025,” Mr. Ongsa added.

Mr. Paul Sirisunt, CEO of Cloud 11, remarked: “Cloud 11 introduces the concept of ‘Creator Commerce,’ providing a space for creators to take action and a commercial platform that helps them turn ideas into creative works and grow into revenue-generating businesses. Today, we have taken another step forward by announcing partnerships with over 30 organizations from various industries, including film and content production entities like the New York Film Academy, CJ ENM, Unformat Studio, T&B Media Global, and Beartai, as well as music and entertainment organizations like SM Entertainment, The Black Sea, 88rising, 1500 Sound Academy, Kantana Sound, and Cat Radio.”

“Notably, the New York Film Academy, a world-renowned institution for acting, film, and creative media, and 1500 Sound Academy, a global music and music business institution, will open the first academy in Southeast Asia at Cloud 11, with a shared mission to advance the music and film industries in Thailand.” Mr. Paul stated.

Mr. James Fauntleroy, a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and co-founder of 1500 Sound Academy, commented on the opening of the first academy in Southeast Asia at Cloud 11: “People are the heart of the creative industry, and creativity flows within everyone. The best place for artists is where their creativity is nurtured and pushed to fully realize their potential. I believe that Cloud 11's Creative Ecosystem will provide opportunities and promote the growth of the new generation, making them a vital force in the Thai music industry and beyond, because here… creativity knows no bounds. This collaboration is not just about opening an institution; it is about laying a long-term foundation to create the ‘human capital’ of the future.”

Mr. Michael Young, President and CEO of the New York Film Academy, discussed the partnership to launch training and workshops at Cloud 11: “At the New York Film Academy, we are committed to providing learners from around the world access to film education. We chose to open our first institution in Southeast Asia at Cloud 11 because we see that it not only has state-of-the-art studios, tools, and filming technology but also shares a vision to empower new creators with learning and development opportunities. We sincerely hope that this collaboration will unlock potential and provide a space for new creators in this region to express their perspectives, culture, and identities through the language of film to audiences worldwide.”

Regarding the Creative Ecosystem at Cloud 11, the concept is as follows:

We believe that driving Thailand's creative industry requires collaboration across the sector. Cloud 11 continues to seek and welcome partners to jointly explore opportunities and propel Thailand's creative industry to grow on a global scale,” Mr. Paul concluded.
