Untar was recognized as the host of Indonesia Digital Talent Day (IDTD) 2023. The event themed “Unleash Digital Talent Potential Towards Golden Indonesia 2045” was organized by Huawei and the Presidential Staff Office (KSP) of the Republic of Indonesia at the Auditorium of Campus I Untar, Wednesday (20/12).

IDTD 2023 was filled with various activities aimed at encouraging the birth of Indonesian digital talents. A total of 100,000 digital talents, initially targeted to be achieved in 2025, can be achieved in 2023.

This activity also presented the Indonesian Presidential Chief of Staff General TNI (Ret.) Dr. (HC) Moeldoko, S.I.P., M.Si. who gave a public lecture with the topic “Youth with Character Towards Indonesia Emas 2045”.

Moeldoko highlighted the issue of digital-based economic transformation discussed in the G20. It was conveyed that Indonesia must face the challenges of digital-based economic transformation by realizing the target of having nine million digital talents by 2030, or around 600,000 talents each year. However, based on existing data, Indonesian universities are only able to produce around 100,000 to 200,000 digital talents per year.

Facing this situation, he emphasized the need for collaboration between the government, universities, the private sector, and the community in efforts to develop the skills of Indonesia’s young talents. This cross-sector cooperation is expected to create effective synergies to meet the needs of digital talents that support the transformation of the digital-based economy in the future.

CEO of Huawei Indonesia Guo Hailong said that digital talent is very important to drive Indonesia’s digital success and realize the vision of the Indonesia Emas 2045. Huawei is committed to developing Indonesia’s young generation into qualified digital talents who are ready to compete in the professional world.

Rector of Untar Prof. Dr. Ir. Agustinus Purna Irawan, M.T., M.M., I.P.U., ASEAN Eng. who was present to open the event said that life in the digital era is inevitable. According to him, digital talents who are the young generation of Indonesia must be able to properly utilize technological advances for the welfare of the community to remote areas in Indonesia.

Rector also specifically appreciated and expressed his gratitude to Huawei for encouraging the readiness of Indonesia’s young generation to become superior human resources and entrusting the organization of IDTD 2023 to Untar.

Plt. Director General of Higher Education, Research and Technology Prof. Ir. Nizam, M.Sc., D.I.C., Ph.D. in his speech hoped that the young generation of Indonesia can utilize digital technology for productive activities, not consumptive.

As a series of events, a panel discussion “Women in Tech” was also presented to discuss gender equality in the field of technology with panelists from various agencies.

At the end of the event, the winners of Huawei ICT Competition 2023 Indonesia were announced, where the Untar student team won third place in the Network Track category.

“We are happy and grateful for the team’s victory. During the competition, we gained a lot of experience, lessons, and relationships from various universities,” said Faculty of Information Technology (FTI) student Richard Vincentius, who is a member of the Untar team.

Richard especially appreciated FTI and Untar for the support that has been given. In addition, he and the team hope to bring the first champion in the next competition.

Huawei ICT Competition 2023 is a competition organized by Huawei from October to mid-November. There are four tracks/categories that are contested, namely Cloud, Network, Computing, and Innovation. This competition is expected to make Indonesia’s young generation as superior digital talents. (KJ/AW/YS/KJ)
