Innovation in an Archipelago Emerging Economy

Indonesia, although considered as a developing economy, it is now an emerging economy. Although diversed and dispersed in nature, the information age has been a bless to the development of innovative and creative industries. Software developers, advertising companies, research and development institutions adds flavors to it's culture heritage and social nature of the people.

Under the current government administration under President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, democracy, freedom of the press, Trade and Intellectual Property Rights acts as a catalisator. Indonesia is in the move to a system of effective and efficient innovation and creative community.

One innovative movement is the establishment of technopark in Sragen, Central, Java. The technopark consists of BLT (Balai Latihan Kerja = Work Training Center) in training grassroot community in enhancing their skills as well as giving them innovatif insight.

Yes, the world is on the move into a new form of economy, Indonesia with it's innovative and creative economy is on the run to be a global player in the economy. Indonesia not only tries to enhance it's knowledge and innovative capability in it's knowledge-based economy, but also working hard to link it's knowledge-based economy with it's resource based economy that has been the countries comparative advantage.

In this innovation community, let our hands shake, our hearts attached and our mind sinergize the emerging economy. As a knowledge worker, as a part of the global innovative economy, I am proud to be in this community.....Let the innovation begin.....
