Policy Communique CIPS DigiWeek 2024 - A Vision for Indonesia’s Digital Future

It is our hope that the new cabinet of Indonesia will consider the outlined proposal, recognizing the pivotal role of the digital economy in advancing a free and prosperous Indonesia. [...] Formal and meaningful engagement with the private sector can lead to effective and efficient policies, as it leverages the expertise and resources of the private sector to address complex industry-related challenges and public concerns towards societal impacts. [...] Protect the right to free speech and internet freedom and focus on user safety in approaches to moderate the digital sphere. [...] This will maximize the potential of cross-border e-commerce within ASEAN, providing consumers and MSMEs access to a wider choice of finished and intermediary goods and services, and enhanced import-export opportunities for traders and sellers. [...] The Ministry of Communications and Informatics as the digital leader should lead the initiative and establish an information and communications technology (ICT) working group and formulate an integrated ICT investment roadmap through a participatory, bottom-up approach to improve collaboration and transparency among key stakeholders.
