The Creative Economy Agency (Bekraf) seeks to boost market share of Indonesian game and digital applications created by Indonesians which qualitycontinuously grow and develop The effort is based on the fact that Indonesia is one of the countries with huge game market potential and digital applications. However, the great potential has not been maximized yet. As stated by the Director of Infrastructure of Bekraf Muhammad Neil El Himam, to media on Tuesday (6/3), that the market share of games and digital applications made by the local developers in the country is still very small compared to the games and digital applications produced by foreign countries.

“The development is positive and better, because the game market in Indonesia is quite large. But the marketshare of Indonesian game developer in  local market is still very small, even it tends to go down. Well, we hope with the existence of Bekraf we can increase the market share. Based on a report from nuzu.com,  last year Indonesia’s game market reached 800 million USD,” Muhammad Neil El Himam said.

Muhammad Neil El Himam added that so far the Creative Economy Agency -Bekraf has made some efforts in the upstream sector to boost the competitiveness of games and digital applications created byIndonesia. These efforts are realized through several programs such as Bekraf Developer Day, Bekraf Game Prime, and the latest is by sending a delegation of Indonesian game and apps developers to participate in the 2018 Connection Game in San Francisco, USA, on March 19-21// (VOI/Rezha/ahm
