Indonesia does not lack technology roadmaps; what it needs is not\nmerely a roadmap, but a way to turn it into investment that can grow,\nattract users, scale up, remain commercially viable and benefit the\nnation and state.<\/p>\n
Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2014 Danantara Indonesia believes Indonesia must be\nable to transform roadmaps for technology development and digital talent\ninto impactful and sustainable investment.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndonesia does not lack technology roadmaps; what we need is not\njust a roadmap, but to turn it into investment that can grow, attract\nusers, scale up, be commercially viable and benefit the nation and\nstate,\u201d said Dwi Susanto, Managing Director of Technology Advancement at\nDanantara Indonesia, in Jakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Dwi said the government and state-owned enterprises (SOEs) had an\nimportant role to play in developing the domestic technology\nindustry.<\/p>\n
He said this was in line with the substantial demand from the\ngovernment and SOEs as they provide services to the public, from issuing\ndocuments requiring chips, such as electronic identity cards and\npassports, to other public services including electricity,\ntelecommunications and banking.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the government\u2019s and SOEs\u2019 needs are directed accordingly, they\ncan become the first buyers of technology made in Indonesia. This is\nwhat Danantara wants to orchestrate, together with the relevant\nministries and agencies, and the private sector can of course be\ninvolved as well,\u201d Dwi said.<\/p>\n
He added that this was also relevant to the use of trusted and\nresponsible artificial intelligence (AI), as well as post-quantum\nsecurity.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrusted AI is already being used in public services, healthcare and\nfinance. Demand for post-quantum security will certainly come, because\nglobal standards have already been set,\u201d Dwi said.<\/p>\n
He also highlighted the opportunities available to Indonesian digital\ntalent in the semiconductor industry, particularly in chip design.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, what about semiconductors? We have chosen to enter through a\ndoor that is already open: chip design. This does not require investment\nworth billions of dollars, but it does require us to develop talent,\u201d\nDwi said.<\/p>\n
Danantara, in partnership with Arm and the Ministry of Higher\nEducation, Science and Technology (Kemdiktisaintek), and with support\nfrom the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, launched the first\ncohort of an Arm training programme in the middle of this year. The\nlaunch marked an important milestone in developing Indonesia\u2019s\nsemiconductor capabilities.<\/p>\n
The intensive training marks the start of a broader strategic\ninitiative to train up to 15,000 Indonesians in chip design through the\nArm ecosystem.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope these young people will be able to develop chips that meet\nour own needs, including secure identity systems, healthcare devices and\nconnectivity,\u201d Dwi said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/danantara-technology-roadmaps-must-translate-into-impactful-investment-1792572819", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
