Indonesia adopts WIPO data model to boost creative economy

Jakarta (ANTARA) – The Creative Economy Ministry is committed to implementing the Creative Economy Data Model (CEDM) in collaboration with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to strengthen Indonesia's data-driven system.Creative Economy Minister Teuku Riefky Harsya conveyed this commitment during a meeting with WIPO representatives in Jakarta on Thursday.”CEDM will help us map the strengths and gaps within Indonesia's creative economy ecosystem, identify policy priorities and support evidence-based decision-making,” Harsya noted in a statement.He added that the framework enables Indonesia to measure its progress against global standards while remaining responsive to national contexts.The CEDM framework maps the interconnections among various components of the creative economy ecosystem. Developed by WIPO, the framework is built on two main pillars: Creative Environment Input and Resources for Creativity Input.The model measures various economic and social outcomes, including the creation and monetization of intellectual property (IP) through royalties and licensing, job creation, contributions to gross domestic product (GDP) and trade performance.Beyond data implementation, Harsya highlighted opportunities to expand collaboration with WIPO across several other strategic areas.”We also see opportunities to deepen cooperation with WIPO in intellectual property commercialization, music royalty governance and intellectual property-based financing for creative economy practitioners,” the minister added.Meanwhile, Deputy Director General of WIPO's Copyright and Creative Industries Sector, Sylvie Fortin, stated that Indonesia has emerged as one of the leading global voices in creative economy development.She praised Indonesia's long-term strategy, which integrates creativity, intellectual property, and innovation as central pillars to achieving the Golden Indonesia 2045 vision.However, she emphasized that achieving this vision requires robust data as a foundation for effective policymaking.”CEDM can complement existing performance indicators by serving as an ecosystem monitoring tool, enabling the Ministry to track not only creative economy performance but also the underlying conditions that will determine its long-term sustainability,” Fortin concluded.
