Minister of Creative Economy/Head of the Creative Economy Agency (Ekraf), Teuku Riefky Harsya, delivers a keynote speech at the Creative Consortium Summit & Innovation Challenge (CCSIC) 2026 at the Bandung Institute of Technology (Institut Teknologi Bandung), Bandung, West Java, Thursday (24/09/2026).
In his keynote speech, the Minister of Creative Economy/Head of the Creative Economy Agency, Teuku Riefky Harsya, stated that the Jakarta Vision requires contributions from academicians so that the ideas brought by Indonesia to the global stage hold a strong foundation in knowledge, research, and innovation.
"The Jakarta Vision must be supported by academicians' ideas. We need a space to discuss, test ideas, and build a shared vision so that Indonesia's creative economy becomes stronger and capable of playing a strategic role globally," stated the Minister of Creative Economy at the Centre for Art, Design, and Language (CADL) Building, ITB, on Thursday (9/24).
According to him, the Jakarta Vision holds a strategic position as it will serve as one of the foundations for drafting the UN Resolution on the Creative Economy at the United Nations General Assembly.

The Jakarta Vision encompasses four main clusters: technology, AI, and digital transformation; sustainability, circular economy, and regenerative design; inclusivity and community empowerment; and balanced Intellectual Property (IP) protection for creators.
"Indonesia's success is not measured only by hosting the WCCE 2026, but also by the key output in the form of the Jakarta Vision, which can offer new ideas and directions for the development of the global creative economy," stated Teuku Riefky.
The involvement of academicians is considered crucial because the creative economy is a strategic sector for job creation and young talent development. In 2025, the creative economy sector recorded the employment of around 27.4 million workers, with 63 percent coming from Generation Z and Millennials, and 58 percent being women workers.
