Skelas Siak

Sentra Kreatif Lestari Siak, known as Skelas, is a creative hub and incubation center initiated by young people in Siak Regency, Indonesia. It provides a collaborative space for young creatives, local communities, government, and small businesses to develop ideas and strengthen the local economy through sustainable approaches and preservation of cultural heritage. Skelas supports local enterprises through incubation, acceleration, and aggregation, and offers data and information for small businesses and creative-economy practitioners.

Its activities include the Siak Innovation Challenge, discussions that showcase local products and creative work, and environmental and community initiatives. Skelas also connects participants through Kawan Skelas, a collaboration platform, and SIAK-ECOWONDER, which offers creative trips.
