The Government of the Republic of Indonesia is making efforts to promote national economic recovery by speeding up digital transformation. The Ministry of Communication and Informatics has established a Digital Indonesia Roadmap 2021-2024 to serve as a strategic guide for the country’s digital transformation by focusing on ten strategic sectors.
The ten strategic sectors include the government sector, the trade sector, the financial services sector, the industrial sector, media and entertainment, real estate and urban areas, agriculture and fisheries, transportation, education, and digital health.
Indonesia will require 9 million digital talents over the next 15 years to support the country’s digital transformation. According to World Bank research published in 2018, Indonesia would face a digital worker shortage of 9 million skilled and semi-skilled workers between 2015 and 2030.
According to Johny, the Minister of Communication and Information, digitisation is essential for those living in rural regions who want to learn how to use technology.
The Ministry will offer a digital leadership academy at higher levels to shape future leaders in the public and commercial sectors. Concurrently, the Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Ministry’s Directorate General of Higher Education launched the ‘freedom campus’ programme. The campus focuses on entrepreneurship and digital start-ups.
