"One of our assistance that aims to encourage the rise of local craftsmen after the pandemic is to fully support them in marketing their products, one of which is through the prestigious INACRAFT 2022 event. With their creativity and strong competitiveness, protection of Intellectual Property is important and it becomes our goal to facilitate and assist them until the final, namely the ownership of IPR," he said, as quoted from Jakarta PPID's Press Release.

Those jakpreneurs were from Dcraft Indonesia, Apikmen, Flavio Boston, More to See, Kami, and Sovlo.

The largest and most comprehensive MSME event in Indonesia which had taken place on March 23-27, 2022, at 10:00-21:00 was organized by the Association of Indonesian Handicraft Exporters, as well as Manufacturers (ASEPHI) and co-organizer Mediatama Binakreasi.

It opened up opportunities for Jakarta's creative economy entrepreneurs to be known by the public and contribute to giving an image of Indonesian people who are proud of Indonesian-made products.

This effect was hoped not only felt by local people but globally. It should be noted that handicrafts ranked the top 5 in the creative economy sub-sector. The development of local artisans in this sector cannot be underestimated.

They provide a lot of innovation in developing their products, not only using skills and creative ideas during the production but also paying attention to the functional and visual aspects of the products, thus they looked aesthetically pleasing and high quality.
