Minister of Industry (Menperin) Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita said the millennial generation and Gen Z were the backbone to reach Indonesia Gold 2045.

This was conveyed by Agus when giving briefing materials to the younger generation who attended the Industrial Festival 3 activities in Surabaya, East Java, Wednesday, December 4.

"Because these millennials and Gen Z, right, which will be the backbone of success or failure, we take advantage of the demographic bonus and whether or not we succeed in showing Indonesia Gold 2045," said Agus.

Agus assessed that the most important thing that must be done by the younger generation is to continue to gain knowledge and adapt to science which is always growing, dynamic and continues to grow.

"The science is not definite knowledge, but also other knowledge from outside the knowledge that he will have high relevance to the landscape from the future, the world in the future," he said.

According to him, Indonesia must be able to create a young generation who can answer all these challenges, which they can master knowledge, especially for the manufacturing sector.

Because, according to Agus, it is necessary to realize that one of the keys to manufacturing success is when the government can transform factories to domestic production facilities to industry 4.0.

"Which we trust in industry 4.0 can help the production process in factories become more efficient. This means that the cost of production will be higher or the productivity will increase," said Agus.

Thus, Agus said, later the competitiveness of national products will be better than other countries.

"Our goods will be much more competitive because the production process already uses 4.0 or the 4.0 principle, which is actually the efficiency in the production process," he said.
