Digital Connectivity in Making Indonesia 4.0: A Priority for Digital Transformation

Abstract
Digitalisation is a pillar of Indonesia Maju (Onward Indonesia), as claimed by the Bank Indonesia Governor in the Indonesia Digital Economy and Finance Festival (FEKDI) 2022. As Indonesia aspires to improve its industry competitiveness and become a top-10 global economic powerhouse, the country will need to revamp its economic foundation to accelerate a digital transformation. Indonesia’s economy has performed well over the past decades, becoming the world’s 16th largest economy with a GDP of more than $1 trillion in 2020. The scale and quality of a digital connectivity affects its digital foundation, which in turn influences the adoption of digital services and processes that result in the level of economic performance. To succeed towards Making Indonesia 4.0 roadmap, one of the priority strategies has to focus on its digital connectivity, a fundamental element that makes digital transformation possible. This study identifies three key focus areas that involve six enablers and 23 indicators to quantify the digital connectivity performance in Indonesia, a review for seven years since 2014, which is named as Indonesia Digital Connectivity Index. Starting from a nascent stage in 2014, Indonesia has seen tremendous improvements in every aspect of its digital connectivity throughout the seven years. To fully unleash the potential of digital transformation in Indonesia, providing better service networks, ensure affordable access to ICT devices, and improving digital skills among Indonesia's population will remain a key priority for narrowing the digital divide. In fact, the roadmap requires collaborative actions among multiple stakeholders that range from government institutions, associations and industry players to academic elements.
