JAKARTA - The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) has consistently accelerated the transformation of Industry 4.0 through breakthroughs to increase the competitiveness of the national industry and bring the Indonesian economy to the top 10 of the world economy by 2030.

Through the development of the Indonesian Digital Industry Center (PIDI 4.0), the Ministry of Industry organizes various agendas for industrial transformation 4.0, which includes industrial awareness 4.0, IDI 4.0 assessment, industrial training and assistance 4.0, industrial training and assistance 4.0, and e-smart IKM.

"As a result of the transformation agenda, currently there are 76 IDI 4.0 chip companies, 13 industrial national lighthouse 4.0 companies, and two global lighthouse industrial 4.0 companies in Indonesia as references and examples in carrying out the industrial transformation journey 4.0," said Minister of Industry (Menperin) Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita in a press release, quoted on Wednesday, March 15.

To encourage companies to transform into industry 4.0, Minister of Industry Agus targets that by the end of 2024, at least two companies in Indonesia will receive a global lighthouse industry status of 4.0 from the World Economic Forum, as well as five to six companies that are national lighthouses.

"So, later there will be at least four global lighthouse industries 4.0 and 18 national lighthouse industries 4.0 at the end of next year," he said.

He hopes that this series of activities can increase industrial awareness 4.0 in Indonesia, and strengthen networks between partners and stakeholders who are members of the PIDI 4.0 ecosystem. "In addition, the establishment of the PIDI Hub and also the Metaverse PIDI 4.0 as interactive platforms allows wider social interactions for PIDI 4.0 stakeholders," explained Agus.
