Indonesia technology and digital economy development

Overview

Indonesia is pursuing a strategy to establish itself as a major digital and technological hub within the ASEAN region. Initially, the focus centered on leveraging the country’s estimated 340 million tonnes of silica sand to enter the global semiconductor and artificial intelligence supply chains. Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Nezar Patria emphasized the necessity of moving from raw material extraction to downstream processing to create higher-value products.

Building on these industrial goals, Indonesia is expanding its ambitions to include leadership in the cryptocurrency and broader digital economy sectors. The government is working to attract global technology companies by developing infrastructure for data centers, cloud computing, and AI. This regional strategy integrates the downstreaming of critical minerals and the development of renewable energy to support a high-tech ecosystem and compete with neighboring nations.
