JAKARTA - The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) is trying to carry out digital transformation in various regions and sectors. This is very important for the state because digitalization helps the economy.

Therefore, Komdigi wants to strengthen relations between Indonesia and the US to encourage increased investment and innovation in the digital sector. If this collaboration continues, Deputy Minister of Komdigi Nezar Patria believes that the business sector can be boosted.

"We want even closer cooperation, especially how more investment can be made, as well as encouraging innovation in the digital business sector," Nezar said after the 12th US-Indonesia Investment Summit event was held on November 26.

The hope is that through cooperation with the US, Indonesia can transfer knowledge from global technology companies. Technology adoption in this way can realize digital transformation if done properly.

Keep in mind that digital transformation is one of the targets to achieve economic growth of 8 percent. This target was set directly by President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

"Digital transformation in this case is important, because it will contribute to reaching the 8 percent figure," said Nezar.

To assist RI1 and RI2 in achieving their targets, Komdigi will carry out quite important tasks. Under the leadership of Minister Meutya Hafid, Komdigi will serve as an enabler, driver, and regulator in the digital economy ecosystem.
