Govt and Folago Collaborate to Develop National Creative Talent

RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Indonesian Ministry of Creative Economy is exploring a strategic collaboration with Folago Global Nusantara to strengthen creator talent and the national creative economy ecosystem.

Folago Global Nusantara is an Indonesian digital technology company that operates as a multi-channel network (MCN) and social commerce platform, managing thousands of creators and offering integrated digital solutions. It positions itself as both a media and talent powerhouse, focusing on creator development, monetization, and digital engagement.

Discussions focused on enhancing creators’ capacity across regions and expanding access to the ecosystem, including monetization opportunities.

“Collaboration with partners like Folago is crucial for strengthening the creator ecosystem, including reaching regional areas and enhancing the capacity of local talent,” said Creative Economy Minister Teuku Riefky Harsya in Jakarta on Wednesday, April 1, 2026.

During the meeting, Minister Riefky emphasized the importance of cross-sectoral cooperation, which he said is vital for creating quality job opportunities for Indonesia’s creative generation.

Through this collaboration, creators will receive guidance from the early stages of developing their interests. Free workshop programs will be available for all ages to ensure new talent can grow to their full potential.

Minister Riefky stressed the need to select programs that directly impact creators, with a focus on rapid implementation through talent development within academy programs.

He also highlighted collaboration opportunities aligned with the eight pillars of the Creative Economy developed by the government, which he said hold significant potential for joint development with strategic partners.

Folago Global Nusantara CEO Subioto Jingga explained the company's integrated ecosystem. Folago offers six main units to comprehensively support creator development: Folago Academy, Folago AI, Folago Pictures, Folago Pro, Kita Klip, and Social Commerce.

“Indonesia has immense creator potential, but the challenge lies in converting that into economic value. Folago Academy bridges the gap for creators from content production to distribution,” Subioto said.

The Ministry is also opening opportunities for further collaboration across strategic programs, ranging from capacity building and product curation to market access and the utilization of People’s Business Credit (KUR).

This meeting marked the starting point for concrete cooperation between the government and the creative private sector, with the goal of strengthening the creator ecosystem and generating tangible impacts for the national economy. (Gusti Panji/Lasti Martina)
