Abstract: The digital transformation of the creative economy has presented Indonesia with a unique set of challenges and opportunities, demanding innovative governance strategies to navigate this dynamic landscape. This research focuses on the nuanced governance mechanisms employed by the Indonesian government to foster, regulate, and harness the full potential of its digital creative economy. Utilizing a qualitative methodology, this study investigates the experiences, perspectives, and actions of key governmental actors, policymakers, and stakeholders. Semi-structured interviews and document analysis reveal the intricate interplay between government policies and civil servants in Indonesia that takes place in order to manage the creative economy in this developing country. The findings shed light on the adaptive strategies and policies implicated in the creative economy, providing insights into the understanding and collaboration between civil servants that can inform not only Indonesia, but also other nations seeking to harness the transformative power of this rapidly evolving sector. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between governance and the creative economy, highlighting the need for a digital innovation co-creation scheme by which civil servants can navigate the digital age of creative industries.
