Irene Umar, Deputy Minister of Creative Economy/Deputy Head of the Creative Economy Agency, said this collaboration is a reflection of the Indonesian Government’s commitment to supporting the growth of the national gaming industry, while reinforcing the shared commitment between the public and private sectors to build a globally competitive gaming ecosystem.

“The collaboration between Coda, Ekraf, and game developers across Indonesia is beyond a memorandum of understanding signed on paper. It is a formal step that demonstrates the seriousness and commitment between the Government and industry players like Coda.”

“For every game developer here, Indonesia is not just a country with a vast player range or a promising target market. Through strengthening this ecosystem, we want to prove that we are capable not only of winning world championships as players, but also of commanding the global market as world-class creators.”

Looking ahead, Coda and EKRAF will explore additional initiatives to support the sustainable growth of Indonesia’s digital creative industry. Together, the two organizations aim to help Indonesian creators access global opportunities while supporting the long-term growth, resilience and competitiveness of Indonesia’s gaming industry.
