Foreword

Laura Bangun Prinsloo

Executive Chair of Indonesian National Organising Committee

Celebrating Diversity

Indonesia is full of diversity. We have various cultures, ethnicities, languages

and religions. From our diversity, comes great richness and strength. This

diversity and our multicultural background is reflected in our books—fiction,

nonfiction, children’s books, comics—and cross-media products.

“Diversity” is a term that can have multiple interpretations, but at its core, it’s

all about creating “variety”. Our publishers focus on diversity through ensuring

that we offer a variety of perspectives to match a great variety of readers on a

global level. Diversity from a global perspective means, readers from various

parts of the world want content published that is relevant to them. The future

of the publishing industry depends on how prepared they are to serve readers

in these emerging economies.

Between increased cultural awareness and technological growth, we are able

to be more connected than ever before. In the publishing world, we play a key

role in weaving threads that hold together the global community by helping

to fasten different cultures around the world closer to one another. Just like

the future of our world, the future of our industry depends on diversity and

intercultural cooperation.

Generally speaking, Indonesian publishers have never stopped innovating

and deepening their endeavours as they seek to implement the go-global

strategy, thereby bringing about quite a few new highlights in books, digital

innovations and other cross-media platforms such as films, animations and

games. Through this Market Focus Programme at the London Book Fair

2019, Indonesian publishers seek more opportunities and open themselves to

cooperate with the world publishing society and to create mutual benefits.
