State Capital Law (UU IKN) has been legalised, and based on this regulation, Jakarta will no longer be the nation's capital in the future. But, as a centre for global scale economic and business, Jakarta will still hold a special status. In order for this new vision to be realised, it is necessary to accelerate digital transformation and use the latest information and communication technology.
However, Jakarta still has many things to improve, which include digital infrastructure, digital business processes, facilities and infrastructure, policies, governance and institutions, funding, and human resources. Even now, the Jakarta Provincial Government is preparing a Draft Law regarding the specificity of Jakarta after it is no longer the capital city of Indonesia. Therefore, the Jakarta Provincial Government creates space for all stakeholders to provide input, analysis, and solutions related to the development of the digital economy in order to make Jakarta a global economic and business centre. One of them is through the Jakarta Digital Outlook: Digital Economy Development Towards Jakarta as a Centre for Global Scale Economy and Business webinar series.
