Time to Give Stage to Communities Supporting Digital Creative Economy
The growth of connectivity and digital transformation has made internet users in Indonesia increasingly active in harnessing technology for creative work, collaboration and product marketing. Behind the rapid expansion of the digital creative economy lies the significant role of communities functioning as driving forces across various regions.
Recognising this contribution, Apresiasi Konektivitas Digital has emerged as an awards platform designed to provide recognition and a stage for activists, communities and initiatives promoting inclusive and impactful digital technology utilisation, particularly in remote, border and underdeveloped regions (3T).
Digital creative economy communities serve as catalysts for local business owners to scale up. They support local creative practitioners through digital marketing guidance, facilitate relationship building and collaboration, and provide training on leveraging digital platforms. Through such support, local products can reach wider markets and gain greater economic value.
With increasingly distributed connectivity infrastructure, these communities help local creative practitioners achieve higher economic value. They teach not only online sales techniques but also build branding, storytelling and data-driven marketing strategies.
Now is the time to provide a platform for communities helping local creative practitioners scale their businesses through digital technology utilisation. Communities actively opening market access, relationships and new opportunities for regional creative economies are invited to apply for Apresiasi Konektivitas Digital.
The public can nominate candidates at detik.com/apresiasikonektivitasdigital during the period from 15 November 2025 to 28 February 2026 to recommend communities, programmes or initiatives contributing to strengthening Indonesia’s digital ecosystem.
