RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - The Indonesia's Ministry of Creative Economy continues to encourage collaboration to strengthen the creative economy ecosystem and open market access for creative businesses. One such collaboration is the holding of The Local Market ID: Pasar Wiwitan SCBD on August 1–2, 2026, at SCBD Park, Jakarta, as a platform for the promotion, networking, and development of Indonesian creative products.

The Local Market ID promotes the concept of a creative market as a monthly weekend tradition that offers a shopping experience while enjoying creative works, culinary delights, musical performances, workshops, and family activities. This event serves as a collaborative space for creative entrepreneurs, designers, artisans, artists, musicians, and social communities to showcase their best work in an inclusive atmosphere.

In addition to serving as a showcase for creative products, The Local Market ID features three main segments: entrepreneurship, entertainment, and workshops. These three segments are designed to bring together business actors, communities, and the public for business activities, creative performances, and learning that foster new collaborations.

According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), over the past two years, creative economy growth has consistently outpaced national economic growth, reaching 6.86 percent by 2025. This achievement is supported by the culinary subsector's contribution of 41.06 percent to the creative economy's GDP, followed by fashion at 14.77 percent and crafts at 10.70 percent.

This achievement also strengthens the creative economy's position as one of the driving forces of the Indonesian economy. It also demonstrates the enormous potential for local products to continue growing through strengthened market access.

Tenant registration can be completed through the Ekraf Hub platform or at https://ekr.af/localmarket until July 21, 2026. Meanwhile, the public can visit The Local Market ID: Pasar Wiwitan SCBD on August 1–2, 2026, at SCBD Park, South Jakarta, and celebrate local Indonesian creativity together.
