Previous years, around this month, I would have been anticipating to attend the Festival Pesona Lokal press conference event, one of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes by Adira Finance Indonesia. As we all know, due to the pandemic, almost all events have been shifted to online and this event is not exceptional. Thought I felt that the momentum was not as great as when we had it offline but we were glad that the programme keeps going. I believe, there are many people looking forward to this event.
After successfully run Festival Pesona Lokal for two consecutive years at multiple cities with the peak and closing event altogether at Jakarta, this year Adira Finance has launched a similar event with the name Festival Kreatif Lokal. Although with the same purpose – to support the local economic growth especially during this pandemic COVID-19, however, the execution may a little bit different. Even better, I would say.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Festival Kreatif Lokal 2020
Festival Kreatif Lokal is a programme by Adira Finance to celebrate their 30th Anniversary. It consists of two events – Kreatif Lokal Award and Konser Kreatif Lokal.
Kreatif Lokal Award
Kreatif Lokal Award 2020 is an award event by Adira Finance for those business owners who have shown the positive impact of their businesses by being able to improve the welfare of themselves and also the society where they live at. As many as 18 winners from 6 economic creative categories – Culinary, Fashion, Handicraft, Photography, Videography, and Performance, will be carefully chosen to receive the much rewarding award at the end of the event.
Through this Kreatif Lokal Award, Adira Finance aims to support what the Indonesia Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy has been doing to revive the economic growth. The impact of COVID-19 pandemic has caused the downfall of many businesses, both big and small scales and not few that have to close down for good.
Wishnutama Kusubandio as the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy said that he hopes that through this collaboration it will help to discover the unique potential each area has so that it will attract visitors from local and overseas to come. To survive through this difficult time, we have to think out of the box. Festival Kreatif Lokal 2020 is fully supported by the Indonesia Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy.

We all understand that this is a difficult time for everyone. But we shouldn’t lose hope. Instead, we shall work together, hand in hand, to keep Indonesia strong and survive through this hard time. Losing hope doesn’t help to make the situation better instantly neither working hard. But at least the latter keeps us alive and keep our country running.
If you are a business owner, perhaps you may want to consider joining this Festival Kreatif Lokal. Or if you are not, you can also share this to people that you know fit the bill.
I am so looking forward to seeing the winners with their business ideas submitted to Festival Kreatif Lokal 2020 and I also can’t wait to see more of Indonesia products go international. Let’s support and be proud of our local products, peeps! 🙂
