On July 21, 2026, Apikri had the honor of welcoming a delegation of four representatives from KADIN DIY (Yogyakarta Chamber of Commerce and Industry). The visit was organized to explore potential collaboration in market development and community empowerment programs. This meeting marks an encouraging step toward strengthening cooperation between business institutions and local craft organizations.

The KADIN DIY delegation was warmly received by Apikri's management board and staff on the second floor of Apikri's main building. During the discussion, both parties exchanged ideas on expanding market opportunities for Indonesian handicrafts while enhancing the capacity and welfare of local artisan communities. The meeting reflected a shared commitment to promoting sustainable economic growth through strategic partnerships.

Apikri hopes that this visit will lead to meaningful collaboration that brings positive economic impacts and stronger institutional partnerships in the future. By working together, Apikri and KADIN DIY aim to create greater opportunities for local artisans, expand access to domestic and international markets, and contribute to the sustainable development of Indonesia's creative economy.
