Deputy Minister Nezar: Indonesia Must Master the Upstream of Technology to Achieve Digital Sovereignty
Published
Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs (Wamenkomdigi) Nezar Patria stressed that Indonesia needs to master the upstream part of technology. According to him, this is important so that Indonesia does not merely become a user of technology products from other countries.
In his statement, Nezar explained that digital sovereignty must be built as an ecosystem. This ecosystem includes physical infrastructure, data, cybersecurity, and governance. In other words, all of these parts are interconnected and must be strengthened simultaneously.
This statement was delivered amid growing attention to the role of technology in the lives of society and the economy. The government wants to ensure that national data and digital systems can be managed securely by the nation itself.
For the public, the issue of digital sovereignty is related to the protection of personal data and the security of digital services used every day. The government is expected to continue preparing concrete steps so that these goals can be achieved.
