In order to boost creative industries in Bali, The Ministry of Industry has issued No. 72/M- IND/PER/9/2015 on the Roadmap to Develop Bali as a Center of Creative Industry During the 2015 – 2019 Period ("Regulation"). A copy of the Regulation is available here.
The Regulation provides a roadmap for Bali Creative Industry Center (“BCIC”) to become a center to support local creative industries. The mission is to:
- create a competitive creative industry ecosystem;
- develop research of technology, design, art, culture and innovation;
- build capacity of human resources and a leading creative and compteitive community; and
- facilitate promotion and marketing of creative industry products.
Support for creative industries will be provided in both commercial and non-commercial forms, and may include: training, research and development, marketing and communications, event organization and provision of facilities (e.g. accommodation for national or international creative economy meetings, a production house for animation and multimedia content, exhibition rooms).
Five programs that will run under the Regulation are:
- innovation and intellectual property development;
- education and training for creative industry businesses;
- marketing and promotions for creative industry products;
- software and content industry development; and
- creative industry business incubation.
The focus for each of the five years will be:
- 2015 - building awareness;
- 2016 - capacity building;
- 2017 - strengthening programs;
- 2018 - going global; and
- 2019 - go global (continued).
The program will be supervised by three Directorates at the Ministry of Industry - the Secretariat General, the Directorate-General of Small and Medium Sized Industries, and the Directorate-General of Metal, Machinery, Transportation, Electronic and Multifarious Industries.
