Forging a resilient digital nation: proposals for Indonesia's future

The government of Indonesia is keen to build a digital nation, in which digital technologies help to improve the livelihoods of citizens and drive productivity across the economy. This has been highlighted in several digitalisation plans announced in recent years. These include the 2021-2024 Digital Indonesia Roadmap, the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2020-2045, and the Making Indonesia 4.0 initiative.

The priority areas of these plans align with GSMA Intelligence’s five components of a digital nation: infrastructure, innovation, data governance, security and people. This report highlights key policies and actions required across these components to realise the Indonesian government’s vision. It also outlines the need for a whole-of-government approach to streamline efforts and realise efficiencies in formulating and implementing digital nation initiatives.
