We can build a\nshared ecosystem with other Asian nations,\u201d he said at the Danantara\nTechnology &amp; Innovation Investment Forum (DTIIF) 2026 in Jakarta on\nMonday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur country is large enough, and our neighbors are strong enough.\nLet us work together and grow together to escape the middle-income trap.\nIf Indonesia grows faster, Singapore should be happy, and India should\nbe happy as well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Pambudy emphasized that developing Indonesia\u2019s semiconductor industry\nmust go beyond assembly operations to encompass a comprehensive\nindustrial ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Achieving this goal, he said, will require a skilled workforce\nsupported by education in science, technology, engineering, and\nmathematics (STEM), as well as greater investment in research and\ninnovation centers.<\/p>\n<p>He also stressed that Indonesia must combine its abundant natural\nresources with technological expertise and innovation to strengthen its\neconomic competitiveness. Without these capabilities, the country risks\nremaining dependent on raw material exports with limited added\nvalue.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond expanding research capacity, Pambudy highlighted the\nimportance of making innovations more widely accessible and applicable\nacross sectors, ensuring that the benefits of technological progress\nextend beyond research centers.<\/p>\n<p>He said Indonesia has significant potential to enhance its\ncompetitiveness by advancing technological capabilities, maximizing the\nvalue of its natural resources, and developing its human capital.<\/p>\n<p>Collaboration with other Asian countries, he added, could also help\ndrive sustainable economic growth and improve public welfare.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: AI, semiconductors, digital talent new growth engines:\nHartarto<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia positions Bali SEZ as AI and Semiconductor\nHub<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Seeking niche in ASEAN semiconductor supply chain<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Shofi Ayudiana, Raka Adji<\/p>",
