Government Builds Industry Foundation Through Intellectual Property

RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta — The Indonesian government is committed to building a strong foundation so that the country’s creative industry ecosystem can continue to grow and remain competitive through strengthened access to intellectual property (IP)–based financing.

To end this, the Ministry of Creative Economy together with the Creative Economy Agency inaugurated 64 Intellectual Property (IP) valuators to support the strengthening of the creative ecosystem and open funding access for IP-based businesses in Indonesia.

“IP valuators are also intended to respond to the potential and opportunities for the growth of Indonesia’s creative industry,” said Creative Economy Minister, Teuku Riefky Harsya to the media after attending the inauguration of Intellectual Property valuators in Jakarta on Wednesday, February 18, 2026.

Teuku Riefky Harsya explained that this step is taken to address the needs of a rapidly growing creative sector, ranging from film, fashion, games, and applications to music, while also providing certainty for financial institutions in assessing the economic potential of intangible assets.

With IP valuators in place, businesses are expected to gain easier access to financing because the economic value of creative works or products can be measured professionally and independently.

“They can perform even better if financing access becomes more open. With sufficient financing, market access will also expand — from local heroes going national, to national champions going global,” Riefky Harsya said.

The government also views the presence of IP valuators as an important part of building trust within the banking sector so that financing can flow more widely, encouraging businesses to move up from domestic markets to global markets.

In addition, IP valuators will support various financing schemes, including the distribution of IP-based creative industry KUR (People’s Business Credit) and commercial financing in line with valuation results. The government emphasized that this step is a long-term effort to strengthen financing foundations and enhance the competitiveness of the national creative industry ecosystem.
