The George Town Literary Festival is made possible through the generous support of our partners, sponsors, and collaborators, whose belief in the power of words continues to bring this festival to life each year.

Since 2024, Penang Institute has taken on the organisation of GTLF, continuing to work closely with the festival’s longstanding network of institutional, diplomatic, and private partners committed to sustaining literary and cultural dialogue in the region.

We are especially grateful to Greatech, whose landmark pledge of RM600,000 in 2024, committed over three years, ensures the continued growth and ambition of the festival. Their support signals a significant investment in the arts and cultural ecosystem in Penang.

We also thank HSBC, a steadfast supporter of GTLF, whose consistent contribution of RM100,000 each year has helped anchor the festival’s programming and international reach.

To all our partners—local and international—thank you for making GTLF possible.
