About us.

Who we are

The Association of Creative Economy Leaders is a registered non-profit founded in 2026 by a group of studio founders, festival directors, and cultural producers who kept solving the same problems alone.

Today ACEL runs leadership programs, publishes research on the creative sector, and represents its members in conversations with local and national government.
