We are attending FreSh! meeting this evening. FreSh! is a very dynamic and vibrant community. Driven by THE key persons in Indonesian online world.

Today’s topic is Teknopreneur (technology entrepreneurship), which is very relevant to MobileMonday communities.

I can share a bit about what is being discussed. But first and foremost, I want to highlight is once again the potential of creative industry innovations and entrepreneurship in our beloved nation (do I need to remind you about the FireAnts?)! We met passionate colleagues there who really want to make a difference in this industry. And they DID something already, great things as well.

Bullit Sesariza (A Box), for example is starting a game company which innovates the way they reach the mass market — by creating engaging+socializing+educating games, and the way they model their business — by partnership, royalty & rental model.

Then Yoris Sebastian (OMG Consulting) founded dr.m (dokter m) – a digital music label. Changing the way Indonesians purchase their music (and on the other hand how the artists market the music and grow their fanbase).

Yoris also motivates the audience to embrace their creative side and to collaborate because these two are among the ingredients of successful innovation!

Ah, and a bit of GREAT statistics about Indonesian bloggers from the recent wordcampindonesia.com:

  • wordpress.com recorded 117 million hits (daily I assume?) from 44 cities in Indonesia.
  • Bahasa Indonesia is the #3 language in wordpress.com (1 & 2 are English and Spanish)
  • Indonesia is #2 community in wordpress.com
  • 143k signups from Indonesia in the last 6 months!

So guys, listen to the little voice in your heart. Got ideas? Let’s collaborate.
