Introduction (1)

• In the 21st century of the creative society, creativity and innovation play important roles to the growth of a company. Creativity has now become more valuable assets than others which gives out the ultimate contribution to a range of company activities for making innovation in products, technology, process, and market.

• Indonesia has experienced fast growth in creative industry especially in areas of advertising, music, film, fashion, craft, design, and architecture. It is worth to study the development of creative industry in Indonesia in order to surface its value chain capability and potential markets. There are a number of best practices of creative entrepreneurs in Indonesia which lead to provide job opportunities or employability. The rise of creative class in Indonesia also serves as a unique experience for other countries to learn.

Introduction (2)

• In December 2007, a kickoff meeting was carried out under the sponsor of the British Council of Indonesia to bring out important issues in the development of creative industry in Indonesia. Creative industry is still lack of support in infrastructure development for ensuring its sustainability. In addition, less attention also is given on educating the creative community, entrepreneurs, creative workers, and the government officers to be the knowledgeable stakeholders as to deeply understand the particular issue, problems, challenges within creative industry. The development of creative industry is challenging and should be tailored to implement to attain the success of the sector.

Introduction (3)

• There is a lot opportunities can be identified and captured if Indonesian universities are able to communicate and collaborate with UK universities in sharing and studying the development of creative class, creative community, creative entrepreneurs in Indonesia. It is realized so far that there is no media used to facilitate and foster communication and collaboration between UK and Indonesian universities.

6

Introduction (4)

• This proposal is about how to open communication between UK universities and Indonesia universities to enable them to be willing to collaborate in sharing experiences and potentials about Indonesian and UK creative industries. The output of the project is a master plan document around the potentials and needs of creative industry in Indonesia, general and unique constraints faced, and analysis of the strategies used to develop creative industry. Lastly, some recommendations are suggested to work with the challenges and to forecast the trend of creative industry development in the future.

Shared Challenges and Opportunities

• Sharpen future-focus (anticipate upcoming areas of importance for collaboration)

• Empowering national stakeholders in creating national creative Industries strategies (e.g., research priority setting, linkages between creative industry and development, etc.)

• Creation and use of overseas networks• Empowering local champions for creative industry• Facilitating use of available funds (10 K) for creative industry

development• Transitioning creative industry toward competitiveness and

innovation for the marketplace• Enhancing collaboration with the UK universities to develop joint

innovation project of creative industry to be funded by PMI2.

8

Rationale

• Fundamental framing question: – “In which ways the preliminary project help to foster

communication and collaboration between UK and Indonesian universities to develop creative industry?”

• There is a need of a master plan to identify and expose potentials and intents of collaboration to develop creative industry sectors in Indonesia such as art, music, performing art, film, design, architecture, fashion.

• The project serves as a media used to link UK and Indonesian universities. The resulted master plan will be distributed to UK universities so they will be interested to communicate and collaborate with Indonesian universities.

Objectives

• The preliminary project aims to establish a communication media between UK and Indonesian universities through practical understanding and utilization of joint collaborative projects related to creative industry.

• The target area in the project involve catalyzing and improving interaction between UK and Indonesian universities (U2U) relationship, especially in improving access to local knowledge within the creative industry sector through information sharing.
