Ahead of Indonesia’s participation in Singapore Comic Con (SGCC) 2025, scheduled for 5–8 December, a delegation from the Ministry of Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia, led by Deputy for Media Creativity Agustini Rahayu, held a meeting with the Deputy Chief of Mission of Indonesia in Singapore, Thomas Ardian Siregar. The delegation comprised representatives of Indonesian comic creators, the Ministry of Creative Economy, and the Jakarta Provincial Office of Tourism and Creative Economy.
During the meeting, both sides discussed the importance of sustained promotion of local intellectual property (IP), the utilisation of market opportunities in Singapore, and the expansion of networks among creators, government institutions, and international partners. The discussion underscored the need for long-term strategies to support Indonesian creative IP in gaining greater international exposure.
The engagement was viewed as a strategic step in strengthening bilateral relations while opening wider opportunities for the development of Indonesia’s creative economy at the global level. Emphasis was placed on fostering collaboration that could support the growth and competitiveness of Indonesian creative industries abroad.
On the same day, the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Singapore, in collaboration with the Ministry of Creative Economy, organised a Business Forum and Networking Session with Indonesia Creative IP and Service Company at the Nusantara Room of the Indonesian Embassy. The forum was officially opened by Agustini Rahayu and Thomas Ardian Siregar.
The Business Forum brought together creative industry players with investors, distributors, and regional partners to explore opportunities for IP commercialisation, cross-border collaboration, and the expansion of Indonesia’s creative market presence in the region. Discussions also covered market prospects and collaborative creative production opportunities within the digital ecosystem.
