MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Linda Adami, CEO of Quantum Temple, a Web3 platform committed to preserving cultural heritage, has entered into a partnership with Muhammad Neil El Himam, Deputy Director of Indonesia’s Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, with the aim of developing a digital economy and creative products through blockchain technology. The collaboration was marked by a celebration of Indonesian culture held last Friday at Pura Tirta Empul.
As part of the partnership, Quantum Temple will provide a platform for Indonesia’s local cultural artists, musicians and creatives to showcase their works globally through NFT technology. Quantum Temple also announced the launch of the Paths to Alangö NFT Collection, which contains audio and visual logs capturing traditional dances, artifacts and rituals. During the celebration, Himam expressed his hope to promote and support the development of Indonesia’s creative industry and position the country as a hub for NFT-based art and technology.
“We are working hard to achieve our goal of growth and cultural expansion,” Himam said. “We use modern blockchain solutions to preserve historical artifacts and experiences and share our culture with the world. We hope to attract more people to participate in our digital and physical economy.”
The tourism industry in Indonesia was heavily impacted by the global Covid-19 pandemic between 2019-2022, with unique visitors reaching a record low of 18,455 people in February 2022, according to Statistics Norway. But through determination and efforts to expand Indonesia’s cultural reach, the Ministry of Tourism has seen a close one 500 percent increase in unique visitors in the past year. The ministry aims to further accelerate this growth by using new technology to share Indonesian cultures globally.
The collaboration was marked by cultural performances and a ceremonial gong, followed by an exhibition of digital assets narrated by Professor J Stephen Lansing, an expert in the fields of anthropology and complex systems. The audience was treated to a selection of traditional Balinese food and refreshments, as well as a display of historical Balinese dances and musical performances.
“This partnership marks a new era in the development of the creative industry in Indonesia and will have a significant impact on the country’s economy,” Adami said. “It demonstrates the government’s commitment to promoting innovation and creativity, and lays a strong foundation for the growth and development of the digital economy and the preservation of cultural heritage through digital technologies such as blockchain.”
This news follows Quantum Temple’s recent accolade United Nations where the company was named a winner of the AWAKE Tourism Challenge, a global call for entrepreneurs working to accelerate sustainability in the tourism sector.
