Abstract

East Flores Regency possesses a rich diversity of local wisdom, including ikat weaving, oral traditions, and various cultural practices that hold significant potential for development within the creative economy sector. The utilization of this local wisdom by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) not only contributes to improving community welfare but also serves as a means of cultural preservation. This study aims to analyze the role of Qwatex Handycraft MSME in preserving Lamaholot local wisdom while simultaneously acting as a driver of the local economy. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews and document analysis. Data analysis is conducted through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that Qwatex Handycraft plays a strategic role in cultural preservation by developing ikat-based products combined with modern design innovations. In addition, this MSME contributes to the local economy by empowering weaving artisans and surrounding communities, thereby creating employment opportunities and increasing income levels. Another significant role is its educational function, introducing cultural values to younger generations through creative products that align with contemporary trends. However, the business still faces several challenges, including limited capital, low digital literacy, and restricted market access. Therefore, continuous support from the government and relevant stakeholders is needed, particularly in terms of capacity building, financial facilitation, and strengthening marketing strategies, so that MSMEs based on local wisdom can develop sustainably and remain competitive.

This community service program aimed to strengthen the capacity of economic institutions and community business groups in villages and urban areas within the OVOP program locations in East Flores Regency. The program responded to the growing need for adaptive business strategies in the digital era and the importance of developing local potential into competitive products. It was implemented through a participatory, educative, and applicative approach during September 8–12, 2025. The training methods included lectures, interactive discussions, case studies, hands-on practice, and simulations to ensure a balance between theoretical understanding and practical application. The findings indicate significant improvements in participants’ understanding of the OVOP concept, managerial competencies, financial administration, and technical skills in product processing, packaging, and labeling. In addition, participants demonstrated increased awareness and ability in applying digital marketing strategies to expand market reach. The program also fostered stronger collaboration networks among business groups, economic institutions, and local government stakeholders. High participant engagement and active involvement throughout the sessions reflect the effectiveness of the training design. Overall, this program contributes to enhancing local economic resilience and promoting sustainable, competitive, and community-based enterprises. The study highlights the importance of continuous mentoring, institutional strengthening, and policy support to sustain the long-term impact of capacity-building initiatives in rural and semi-urban areas.
