The 5th World Conference on Creative Economy (WCCE) 2026, held in Jakarta’s SCBD district, marked a pivotal moment in advancing an inclusive global creative economy. Bringing together a diverse range of speakers to provide insights into on-the-ground realities and address current issues in Indonesia, the event, held from 21 to 25 October 2026, was also marked by an expression of humanitarian solidarity through a joint prayer for efforts to address forest and land fires in Kalimantan.

Indonesia’s Deputy Minister of Creative Economy, Irene Umar, reaffirmed her broader vision that the creative economy should serve a purpose beyond merely driving financial growth. “Our hope, of course, is that the economy can become a platform for bringing people together, regardless of race, ethnicity, or religion,” Irene Umar said following an interactive discussion session in Jakarta’s SCBD district on Saturday, 24 October 2026.

Furthermore, WCCE 2026 was strategically designed as a platform for expanding professional networks and fostering tangible collaboration between local creative industry players and international partners. These efforts aim to strengthen Indonesia’s national creative ecosystem and enhance its competitiveness on the global stage.

To establish a sustainable ecosystem, cross-sector collaboration is considered essential to unlocking investment opportunities and accelerating the adoption of modern technologies. Such collaboration is expected to drive more inclusive economic growth.

This year’s SCBD Weekland brought something different to the community with the presence of the Artha Graha Peduli Pavilion. More than a platform to showcase initiatives aligned with Artha Graha Peduli’s core principles—including environmental conservation, disaster response, social and community welfare, community empowerment, and legal protection—the pavilion also serves as a showcase for a diverse range of products from local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) supported by Artha Graha Peduli’s business units.

Among the featured MSME products are ginger-infused coffee and other coffee products developed through community empowerment programs carried out by TWNC, one of Artha Graha Peduli’s environmental conservation initiatives. TWNC has successfully rehabilitated six tigers at its rehabilitation center. Following a comprehensive preparation process in accordance with international wildlife conservation standards, the tigers are being prepared for their eventual return to the wild.

The pavilion is further brought to life through a variety of health-focused activities, including health education sessions and free physical health screenings. A range of activities has also been specially designed for children, including the “Little Doctor” and “Little Firefighter” programs.

Through the Little Doctor program, children are invited to take part in basic health screenings, helping them become familiar with health and medical awareness from an early age. Meanwhile, the Little Firefighter program introduces children to specialized firefighting equipment and basic fire safety practices. The program also features activities such as rappelling, specially adapted for children to provide an engaging and educational experience.

The Artha Graha Peduli Pavilion is held every weekend, on Saturdays and Sundays, from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Through its diverse range of activities, the pavilion provides an interactive space where the public can learn more about environmental conservation, community empowerment, social initiatives, health awareness, and educational activities for children.

Weekends are the perfect time to gather with family, friends, and loved ones. Bringing together a warm and lively atmosphere filled with engaging activities, The Local Market – Pasar Wiwitan SCBD invites the public to enjoy a different kind of weekend experience. Visitors can explore a wide range of local products while enjoying a comfortable and pleasant market atmosphere.

Beyond showcasing a variety of local products, The Local Market – Pasar Wiwitan also offers a selection of culinary delights, live music performances, and various creative activities for visitors from all walks of life. The combination of food, music, creativity, and local products makes the event an appealing way to spend the weekend, while also providing an opportunity for the community to enjoy and support local creations and products.
