Senior Indonesian official Ismail is among those anticipating Indonesia's embrace of new digital transformation technologies to keep up with other nations' development for achieving this vision.

This will help make Indonesia's development activities more efficient, competitive and sustainable, government officials said.
"5G is already coming. Many opportunities are coming and the room for improvement is coming. This is a wake-up call for us," Ismail told an audience at the joint venture's 5G innovative center.
He said the center is a breakthrough solution not only for the nation's logistics industries but also for other sectors in the country. The project can help accelerate national digital transformation only with cooperation among all stakeholders, Ismail said.

"The future is coming. Nobody doubts the future is a more digital world empowered by 5G, AI and the cloud computing, and more innovations to come," he said in his speech.
Noting how Indonesia is looking ahead to achieve its planned "Golden Indonesia Vision 2045" , Guo called on the Indonesian Logistics Association to support industries to go digital and to be smart.
"We are fully committed to support Indonesia's digitalization. This is not only our duty as a corporate citizen but also is a foundation for the sustainable development of Digital Indonesia," he said.

Indra Mardiatna, Network Director of Telkomsel, is hopeful that Huawei, business associations and academics will support his company's efforts of accelerating the development of the ecosystem of digital business and economy in Indonesia.
He also expects that the Huawei-supported 5G Smart Warehouse and 5G Innovation Center will provide Indonesian business players with a transformative experience notably for increasing their management capabilities and for making their operations more efficient.
