JAKARTA - The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) through the Indonesian Digital Industry Center (PIDI) 4.0 collaborates with several universities, to accelerate the implementation of the Making Indonesia 4.0 Program created to prepare Indonesia in the face of the industrial era 4.0.

Universities invited to cooperate are Semarang State University (UNNES), Switzerland German University, and Kosgoro Institute of Informatics Business 1957.

"In an effort to answer challenges in the era of technological disruption and adapt to 4.0 technology in the industrial world, the Ministry of Industry through the Indonesian Digital Industry Center (PIDI) 4.0 collaborates with industry, as well as educational and research institutions," said the Head of the Industrial Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDMI) of the Ministry of Industry Masrokhan in a written statement received by VOI, Tuesday, August 15.

The scope of cooperation includes educational programs, research, community service, teacher professional education programs, human resource quality development, and other activities that will be agreed upon.

With the signing of the cooperation (MoU) with the three universities, currently PIDI 4.0 has 40 partners consisting of industry and universities.

"The continuation of the signing of the MoU between PIDI 4.0 and these universities is the preparation of a cooperation agreement that contains cooperation coverage and programs," he said.

On this occasion, a PIDI 4.0 program and activity evaluation meeting was also held, as well as partners who had previously been held in Semester I-2023. The meeting also discussed and prepared a strategy for the activity program plan to be carried out by all PIDI 4.0 partners in Semester II-2023.

"Hopefully, the evaluation meeting of the PIDI 4.0 program and partners, as well as the MoU signing ceremony, can encourage elaboration in the industrial ecosystem network 4.0 and create synergies between governments, industry, and educational institutions in Indonesia," he concluded.

As stated by the Minister of Industry (Menperin) Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita some time ago, PIDI 4.0 is a facility established to be a one-stop solution for the implementation of industry 4.0 in Indonesia, as well as a window for Indonesia 4.0 in the world.

The Ministry of Industry through BPSDMI built PIDI 4.0 to support and accelerate digital transformation in seven priority manufacturing sectors, namely the food and beverage industry, the textile and finished clothing industry, the chemical industry, the automotive industry, the electronics industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and the medical device industry.

PIDI 4.0 encourages the link between the network ecosystems between stakeholders initiated by the Ministry of Industry.
