BKPM Prepares Latest OSS System, Based on AI and Blockchain
The government is preparing an update to the business licensing system through the Online Single Submission (OSS), which will be integrated with various ministries and agencies. The new generation system is planned to be based on artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, and is targeted to operate starting in 2026.
Investment Minister and BKPM Head, Rosan Roeslani, acknowledged that the previous OSS system had encountered several issues in recent months.
“This is because we want to enhance the system to fully integrate with 18 ministries,” Rosan stated during a meeting with Commission XII of the DPR RI at the Senayan parliamentary complex on Monday (13/4).
OSS consists of three subsystems: the information service subsystem, the business licensing subsystem, and the supervision subsystem. This integration aligns with Government Regulation No. 28 of 2025 on Risk-Based Business Licensing.
According to him, the system strengthening process was hampered by funding aspects. The government has submitted the budget proposal for nearly a year, and it has now been approved and is entering the disbursement stage.
Rosan explained that cross-ministry integration presents its own challenges because the OSS system must automatically connect with various previously separate licensing systems. However, if this integration runs optimally, the licensing process is expected to become much faster and more efficient.
“If this runs well, all licensing will be very fast. This will also reduce face-to-face meetings and negative potentials due to uncertainty,” he said.
In its latest version, OSS will adopt AI and blockchain technologies to improve the speed, transparency, and accountability of licensing services. This digitalisation is also expected to cut bureaucracy and minimise undesirable practices in the licensing process.
The government targets the implementation of the technology-based OSS system to begin this year in stages. With this update, the investment climate in Indonesia is hoped to become more conducive and able to attract more business players, both domestic and foreign.
