Towards Golden Indonesia 2045: Industry Minister Emphasizes the Importance of Technology Mastery for Human Resources
Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita emphasized that the vision of Golden Indonesia 2045 requires thorough preparation of human resources (HR). According to him, infrastructure development and capital investment alone are not enough to lead Indonesia to become a developed nation in the next two decades.
In his statement on Saturday (12/9/2026), the Minister of Industry stressed that the main key to the success of the national industry lies in the mastery of technology. Human resources in the industrial sector must be able to adapt to the very rapidly evolving global technological developments so that Indonesia's competitiveness in the international market remains maintained.
The government is currently continuing to promote various training and vocational education programs that are relevant to the needs of future industries. The main focus is to improve the technical skills of workers so that they not only become users but also innovators in the digital and manufacturing industrial ecosystem.
This step is considered crucial because the industrial sector is the backbone of the national economy. With a skilled and tech-savvy workforce, Indonesia is expected to be able to increase the added value of domestic products and reduce dependence on imported technology from abroad.
In conclusion, strengthening human resource capacity is the government's top priority in achieving the Golden Indonesia 2045 target. Synergy between the education sector, the government, and industry players is expected to create an ecosystem that supports sustainable economic growth for all Indonesian people.
