“We are ready to assist and facilitate creative economy practitioners across the City of Solo so they can continue to grow and advance to the national level, and even reach the global stage. This, of course, requires hexahelix collaboration between the government, communities, academia, business industries, media, and financial institutions that are ready to identify competitive creative economy practitioners,” said Minister of Creative Economy Teuku Riefky Harsya on Saturday, 3 January 2025.
Minister of Creative Economy Teuku Riefky Harsya also expressed appreciation to Mayor of Solo Respati Achmad Ardianto, who was present in person at the informal dialogue. During the discussion, the Minister gathered aspirations and feedback from creative economy practitioners in Solo across various subsectors, including film, performing arts, music, and others.
“The Ministry of Creative Economy has four key performance indicators, namely the increase of qualified human resources, exports, investment realization, and contribution to Creative Economy GDP. I believe that most creative economy practitioners from Solo are already empowered, therefore acceleration is needed through joint curation with communities and the regional government to support the commercialization of Intellectual Property (IP),” stated Minister of Creative Economy Teuku Riefky Harsya.
