Jakarta –

The Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN) Expert Council, Budiman Sudjatmiko, revealed one of the plans of presidential candidate (capres) Prabowo Subianto and vice presidential candidate (cawapres) Gibran Rakabuming Raka, to build a digital ecosystem in Indonesia.

One of the big plans is to transform 10 regions into innovation and metaverse cities, including the national capital (IKN) of the Archipelago in East Kalimantan. This development aims to build a digital ecosystem so that it is not left behind by other countries.

“Where do we start? From analog, digital must move to analog. The ten (10) innovation cities that Pak Prabowo-Gibran want to build, are due to the engineering challenges, the social impact of cultural change, mental change, corporate ideology, identity change. If “If we’re not careful, we will disappear as a nation, or at least become irrelevant as a country,” said Budiman in a discussion on the Indonesia Digital Summit 2023, at the Four Season Jakarta, Tuesday (28/11/2023).

Budiman said that of the 10 cities that will be planned to become innovation and metaverse cities, IKN East Kalimantan will be the center of Indonesia’s digital ecosystem. Then 9 other cities became supporting and high-tech industries.

“So, 9 cities become like 9 planets and the sun is IKN as the super hub of the digital ecosystem. This can be done. There are people, I often meet young people who can make artificial hearts, artificial brains, agricultural research labs on the moon, when they get scholarships from “Indonesia, after returning home, was unemployed, didn’t have a table. We wanted to create a platform,” he explained.

There are 10 cities that will be transformed with high technology, first IKN East Kalimantan, Sumatra 1 to become a chip industry city and nanotechnologySumatra 2 becomes the IoT and sensors industry, Java 1 becomes the AI ​​and computing technology industry, Java 2 becomes the industry mobile devices and VR/AR, Java 3 becomes an industry robotics and autonomous vehicles.

Then, Bali became industrial human computer interface and social media, becoming an industrial Sulawesi biotechnology and agricultureand Maluku energy storage industries and Papua becomes industrial satellite and connectivity.

In his presentation, to build these 10 innovation and metaverse cities requires quite large funds. To build a high-tech city requires funds of US$ 557 million.

This big plan is certainly not just the government involved, Budiman said there needs to be collaboration between all stakeholders, from the government to entrepreneurs.

“Pak Prabowo-Gibran offers an approach to technology readiness and market readiness which is collaboration with stakeholders, this is collaboration, there is community brain power, money and government. Each has a relationship, we are building an ecosystem,” he said.
