As blockchain technology continues to gain widespread acceptance and influence, its impact is being felt across various industries, from finance to art and culture. The revolutionary potential of this technology to revolutionize traditional systems and promote growth and innovation is undeniable, as demonstrated by the latest partnership between Quantum Temple and the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy.
Quantum Temple, a Web3 platform for preserving cultural heritage, has partnered with the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy to promote the growth of the digital economy and cultural products through the use of blockchain technology.
Quantum Temple will provide a platform for local Indonesian artists, musicians, and creatives to showcase their works globally using NFT technology.
The company also launched the “Paths to Alangö NFT Collection,” which includes audio and visual recordings of traditional dances, artifacts, and rituals. The Indonesian Ministry of Tourism is determined to grow its cultural reach, as the tourism industry was greatly impacted by the global Covid-19 pandemic.
The partnership was marked by cultural performances, a display of digital assets, and traditional Balinese food and refreshments.
The partnership is aimed at promoting and supporting the development of Indonesia’s creative industry and positioning the country as a hub for NFT-based art and technology.
The government is committed to fostering innovation and creativity and laying a strong foundation for the growth and development of the digital economy and the preservation of cultural heritage through digital technology such as blockchain.
This news comes after Quantum Temple was named as a winner of the AWAKE Tourism Challenge, a global call for entrepreneurs working to accelerate sustainability in the tourism sector, by the United Nations.
Linda Adami, CEO of Quantum Temple, expressed that the partnership signifies a new era in the development of the creative industry in Indonesia and will have a significant impact on the country’s economy.
Muhammad Neil El Himam, Deputy of Indonesia’s Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, stated that they are using modern blockchain solutions to preserve historic items and experiences and share their culture with the world. He also hopes to attract more people to participate in the digital and physical economy.
The tourism industry in Indonesia saw a near 500% increase in unique visitors over the past year, despite being greatly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Ministry aims to further accelerate this growth by utilizing new technologies to share Indonesian cultures globally.
The collaboration was marked by cultural performances and a ceremonial gong striking, followed by a showcase of digital assets narrated by Professor J Stephen Lansing, an expert in anthropology and complex systems.
The audience was treated to a spread of traditional Balinese food and refreshments, as well as a display of historic Balinese dances and musical performances.
Overall, the partnership between Quantum Temple and the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy is a positive step towards the preservation of cultural heritage and the growth of the digital economy in Indonesia. The use of blockchain technology will allow local artists and creatives to showcase their works globally, increasing the visibility and recognition of Indonesian culture.
