In early July 2026, Indonesia’s Creative Economy Ministry announced a new initiative to develop film‑related intellectual property and market those assets to Canada, signalling a targeted effort to expand the country’s cultural exports.

Later in the month, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights broadened the approach, providing hands‑on assistance to local artisans—such as rattan craftsmen in Central Sulawesi—to register industrial designs and protect their creations. Simultaneously, the government began drafting revisions to the Copyright Act to address generative‑AI challenges, aiming to safeguard creators’ economic rights while permitting AI development. Together, the two moves illustrate an expanding, coordinated strategy to strengthen legal certainty, boost competitiveness, and modernise Indonesia’s creative‑industry framework.
