Funds can be used for purchasing equipment, covering production costs, or meeting other operational expenses essential for scaling creative enterprises.

Highlighting the importance of the initiative, SDFC Managing Director Badhurudheen Hassan said the program is more than a financial product, describing it as “an investment in creative talent, innovation, and the future of our economy.” He noted that Maldivian youth are increasingly transforming creativity into sustainable economic growth, and the scheme will help showcase Maldivian talent on the global stage.

Applications for the facility are now open and can be submitted through the SME Portal on the SDFC website at www.sdfc.mv.
