In his remarks, Daniel Schroeder as Lead Advisor, Digital Transformation Center (DTC) Indonesia stated that the ‘Digital Grounds’ can be used as a means to achieve the goals of ‘Green Digital Economy’.
In the material presentation and question and answer session, Riza Azmi as Head of Digital Entrepreneurship Academy (DEA) of the Ministry of Communication and Information of the Republic of Indonesia added that 75% of MSMEs failed when entering the digital ecosystem. This is due to the low number of digital literacy of the Indonesian people.
The discussion forum at the ‘Digital Grounds: Towards A Green Digital Economy’ event is not only about exposure, but also becomes a means of skills training, digital transformation planning, to training and equipping MSMEs to be able to contribute to driving digital economic growth.
