On Tuesday, February 10, 2026, Apikri held a strategic meeting with two staff members from the Ministry of Creative Economy at a café in Senayan City, Jakarta. The discussion centered on the possibility of Apikri participating as a featured contributor in an upcoming Creative Economy Show scheduled for October this year. The informal yet productive meeting reflected a shared commitment to strengthening Indonesia’s creative industry ecosystem.

During the conversation, representatives from the Ministry explored Apikri’s potential role as an event contributor, particularly in showcasing fair trade-based handicrafts and community empowerment initiatives. Apikri’s long-standing experience in promoting artisan products and sustainable crafts was seen as highly relevant to the event’s mission of highlighting innovation, cultural heritage, and global market readiness within the creative sector.

In addition to the exhibition opportunity, the meeting also discussed the possibility of Apikri serving as a speaker in a conference series themed “Creative Economy in Facing the Global Era.” Through this platform, Apikri is expected to share insights on fair trade practices, export experiences, and strategies for sustaining artisan livelihoods amid global economic challenges. The discussion marked a promising step toward meaningful collaboration between Apikri and the Ministry in advancing Indonesia’s creative economy on the international stage.
