The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) together\nwith Ericsson is strengthening the development of the digital innovation\necosystem through the 5G Innovation Centre (5GIC) at the Garuda Spark\nInnovation Hub (GSIH), BSD City. The innovation centre serves as a\ncollaborative space for developing and testing solutions based on 5G,\nartificial intelligence (AI), and Industry 4.0.<\/p>\n
GSIH BSD City was inaugurated on Wednesday (26\/8) and was attended by\nMinister of Communication and Digital Affairs Meutya Hafid. The event\nwas attended by around 500 participants from government, industry,\nacademia, startups, and investors, and was connected hybridly with ten\nGSIH partner cities.<\/p>\n
On the occasion, President Director of Ericsson Indonesia Nora Wahby\nsigned a letter of intent (LoI) together with Director of Digital\nEcosystem Development at Komdigi Sonny Hendra Sudaryana as well as a\nnumber of other digital ecosystem partners.<\/p>\n
Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Meutya Hafid said that\nGSIH was developed as a shared workspace that brings together various\nelements of the digital ecosystem. The presence of the hub is expected\nto help the development of innovation and digital talent not only be\nconcentrated in one region.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe success of GSIH cannot be measured solely by the number of\nactivities or collaborations, but by the output produced and its impact\non society. From BSD and ten partner cities, we want to ensure that\ninnovation and digital talent can grow in various regions, so that\nconnectivity can be translated into growth and ultimately strengthen\nIndonesia\u2019s digital sovereignty,\u201d said Meutya according to a press\nrelease received on Friday (28\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n
President Director of Ericsson Indonesia Nora Wahby said that the\n5GIC located at GSIH is a collaborative space for various parties to\ndevelop digital solutions that can be applied to industry needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cGaruda Spark Innovation Hub is a manifestation of collaboration\nbetween government, industry, academia and talent, startups\/communities,\nand ecosystem partners to develop applicable digital solutions. Through\nthe Ericsson 5G Innovation Centre which is part of GSIH, we want to\npresent an open collaborative space to develop, test, and validate\nsolutions based on 5G, AI, and Industry 4.0,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
5GIC is a development of Ericsson\u2019s innovation platform that focuses\non 5G, AI, and Industry 4.0 technologies. Through the Pentahelix\napproach, the innovation centre brings together government, industry,\nacademia, talent, startups, and ecosystem partners to develop and test\nsolutions for industry needs.<\/p>\n
A number of solutions resulting from ecosystem development were also\nshowcased at 5GIC, including works from the Ericsson 2025 hackathon. One\nof them is MINERVA, an AI-based industrial intelligence platform\ndeveloped by Future of Tech.<\/p>\n
MINERVA is the winner of the Ericsson 2025 Hackathon which processes\noperational data into information to assist decision-making processes in\nindustrial environments.<\/p>\n
Through 5GIC and GSIH, collaboration between government, industry,\nacademia, startups, and communities is expected to accelerate the\ndevelopment of digital talent and solutions from the prototype stage to\nfield implementation.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/komdigi-inaugurates-gsih-ericsson-develops-5g-innovation-centre-in-bsd-1787910737", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
