“Through this software scheme, we want to spur increased innovation in so as to support sustainable industrial development,” he said at the Bandung Techno Park (BTP) Inauguration event at Telkom University Bandung, West Java, Tuesday (16/1).
He explained that telematics products provide tremendous market space in Indonesia as seen in smartphone sales of up to 60 million units per year. The technology cycle is very fast, especially smartphones, where every six months there is always a product update, so it requires the power of research and technological innovation. Facing this opportunity, the government is not only encouraging the growth of the hardware industry but is also encouraging the development of the software, content and animation industries.
Currently, the Ministry of Industry encourages the establishment of research and innovation centers for electronics and telematics products in five regions. In Bandung, there is the Bandung Techno Park, then in Denpasar there is the TohpaTI Center, the IKITAS Business Incubator in Semarang, the Makasar Techno Park in Makassar, and the Mobile Design Center in Batam, Riau Islands Province.
Reference Model
Especially in Bandung, the government is trying to strengthen and encourage the existence of BTP to become a role model (reference model) for the development of other techno parks in the country.
In addition, BTP can become an icon, not only for the city of Bandung but also for the province of West Java, and even become a national icon for the development of the information and communication technology industry.
