JAKARTA - The importance of equitable distribution of digital talent in an effort to realize progress in all regions is very important to achieve. This was revealed by the Minister of Communication and Information (Menkominfo) Budi Arie Setiadi.
As quoted in a press release by the ministry in Jakarta, reported by ANTARA, Saturday, May 18, he said that without equal distribution of digital talent, progress would only be concentrated in certain areas.
"This is our challenge going forward, because this digital talent gap will be the existence of only a few talents in certain areas," he said at the 2024 Local Eyes Fest at the Peninsula Tower Hotel, West Jakarta, Friday, May 17.
