P3DN Policy and Domestic Fiber Optic Industry Capabilities at the 6th IIXS

Jakarta, INTI – As part of the 6th Indonesia Internet Expo & Summit (IIXS) held at JI-EXPO Kemayoran, Jakarta, one of the highly anticipated panel sessions is the discussion on the "Product Utilization Program (P3DN) Policy and Domestic Fiber Optic Industry Capabilities." This panel will feature several prominent experts in their fields, including Muhammad Arif (Director of Informatics Industry Empowerment), Ririek Adriansyah (President Director of PT Telkom Indonesia), Muhammad Budi Syarif (Chairman of APJATEL), Novel Jamalullail (President Director of PT Fiberstar), and Imelda Zukkyadin (Principal Policy Analyst).

The Importance of P3DN Policy

The Product Utilization Program (P3DN) is a strategic policy of the Indonesian government to encourage the use of domestically made products in various industrial sectors. The main goals of this program are to enhance the competitiveness of local industries, reduce dependence on imported products, and create job opportunities for Indonesian citizens. Recent data from the Ministry of Industry shows that since the implementation of P3DN, there has been a 40% increase in the use of local products in key sectors such as telecommunications and manufacturing.

Capabilities of the Domestic Fiber Optic Industry

The fiber optic industry in Indonesia has seen significant growth in recent years. With the increasing demand for fast and reliable internet connectivity, the need for fiber optic infrastructure is becoming more urgent. According to data from the Indonesian Telecommunication Network Providers Association (APJATEL), domestic fiber optic production capacity has increased by 50% since 2020. This indicates that the local industry is ready to meet the national demand for digital infrastructure.

Highly Anticipated Panel Discussion

In this panel session, speakers will discuss various important topics related to the P3DN policy and the capabilities of the domestic fiber optic industry, including:

1. Implementation and Challenges of P3DN: How this policy is being implemented and the challenges faced in its execution.
2. Role of PT Telkom Indonesia: As a key player in the telecommunications industry, PT Telkom Indonesia will share their experiences in supporting the P3DN policy and developing fiber optic infrastructure.
3. Local Production Capacity and Quality: Analysis of the capabilities of domestic fiber optic production and how local products can compete with imported ones.
4. Collaboration between Government and Industry: The importance of cooperation between the government and industry players in supporting the P3DN policy and advancing the domestic fiber optic industry.

Challenges and Opportunities

While there are many opportunities in developing the domestic fiber optic industry, several challenges still need to be addressed. One of them is the need for substantial investments to build adequate production infrastructure. Additionally, enhancing the skills of the workforce is also a crucial factor in supporting the growth of this industry. However, with the support of the P3DN policy and good collaboration between the government and industry, Indonesia has great potential to become a major player in the global fiber optic industry.
