East Ventures, the pioneer of Indonesia’s early-stage venture capital scene, released its first report named East Ventures – Indonesia Digital Competitiveness Index (EV-DCI) 2020. The objective of the report is to map out the digital economic growth of the 34 provinces and 24 big cities across Indonesia.
The rapid development of the digital economy in Indonesia only occurs in urban areas and several other provinces with high technology early-adopters. This has led to a digital divide between Indonesia’s numerous islands as the largest archipelago in the world.
East Ventures Digital Competitiveness Index (EV-DCI) serves as a tool to map the digital economic conditions in all parts of Indonesia based on 9 pillars related to the digital economy and supporting aspects that indirectly support the development of the digital economy.
With clear mapping and a full picture of Indonesia’s digital economy, strategic steps can be taken to equalize digital access and technological capabilities throughout the country, especially in this era of knowledge-based economies.
