Bekasi Regency Government Grants 2.5 Hektar Land To Komdigi To Support Digital Talent Development

JAKARTA - The Bekasi Regency Government has officially donated 25,074 square meters of land or about 2.5 hectares in the Cikarang area to the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs as a Digital Talent Center or DTC.

This land has been used by the Ministry of Communication and Digo since 2011 as the location for the Information and Communication Technology Training and Development Center (BPPTIK), but at that time it was still under loan lease status.

With the land grant given by the Bekasi Regency government, the status of the land will not only become clearer, but is also expected to strengthen the development of human resources in the digital field.

"By handing over land and property belonging to the Bekasi Regency Government (BMD) into state property or (BMN) of the Ministry of Trade through a direct grant scheme, it is hoped that the management and utilization of this BPPTIK facility can be maximized in supporting the development of Indonesian Digital Human Resources," said Head of the Komdigi Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM), Bonifasius Wahyu Pudjiarto at the signing of Grants from the Bekasi Regency Government to the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs on Monday, February 17.

Meanwhile, Deputy Minister of Communication and Information, Nezar Patria, revealed that the facilities available in DTC are very complete and ready to support the development of digital skills for young Indonesian talents.

"The building, which has been standing there since 2011, is quite complete. There are laboratories, study rooms, and even rooms for digital talents who take part in workshops, short courses, or education that require lodging," explained Nezar.

In addition, buildings that stand on 2.5 hectares of land will also support future technology (emerging tech) training such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, cloud computing, and so on.
