        "content": "<p>Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Nezar Patria\nstated that collaboration among stakeholders is key to building a\nnational digital ecosystem to realise Indonesia\u2019s technological\nindependence by 2045. \u201cWe have explored eight priorities for digital\necosystem development in Indonesia with a broad spectrum and diverse\nrange, from increasing the added value of the telecommunications\nindustry to improving national logistics cost efficiency,\u201d Nezar said at\nthe Digital Ecosystem Alignment (DEAL) 2026 event in South Jakarta.\nAccording to Nezar, Indonesia has significant opportunities in the\ndigital economy, contributing around 40 percent to the ASEAN digital\neconomy. However, the size of the market does not automatically make\nIndonesia a global technological power. He assessed that the future of\nthe national digital economy is determined by the ability of all\nstakeholders to build an interconnected ecosystem, spanning\ninfrastructure, talent, industry, and technological innovation. He said\ndigital ecosystem development is an integral part of the Indonesia\nDigital 2045 strategy. The current phase of development will determine\nwhether Indonesia achieves its strategic goal of technological\nindependence in the future. \u201cThe stage we are going through now will\ndetermine whether by 2045 we can achieve our national strategic goal of\ntechnological independence. Strengthening collaboration is the most\nimportant keyword that we must internalise together and how we execute\nit,\u201d he stated. Nezar also encouraged Indonesia to learn from India\u2019s\nexperience in building its digital economy through strengthening digital\npublic infrastructure, such as the Aadhaar digital identity system and\nthe Unified Payment Interface (UPI). According to him, inclusive digital\npublic infrastructure can drive financial services while serving as a\nfoundation for digital economic growth. Furthermore, Indonesia needs to\nstrengthen its position in the global digital economy supply chain,\nparticularly in the development of artificial intelligence (AI)\ntechnology. \u201cWe see how, after this ecosystem strength is built, we also\nneed to pay attention to how our national strength can penetrate the\nglobal market chain,\u201d Nezar said. He added that Indonesia\u2019s digital\neconomy value is estimated to reach 105 billion US dollars by 2025 and\nhas the potential to increase to 260 billion to 360 billion US dollars\nin the future. According to him, this potential can only be realised\nthrough strong collaboration across the entire national digital economy\nvalue chain.<\/p>",
