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.

He stated the importance of overcoming the digital talent distribution gap to ensure digital progress can be equally felt throughout the region.

"This digital progress must also pay attention to the aspect of equity because of the development that we have to realize in Indonesia," said Budi Arie.

"I believe that Indonesians have power, have capital, have capacity, have creativity to be able to welcome this era of digital, which is full of disruption," he said.

He said that local wisdom must also be maintained while trying to accelerate digital transformation.

"Digital transformation is accelerated for the sake of the ideals of the nation and state. Local wisdom is a source of inspiration for an advanced Indonesia to prosper," he concluded.
