AI Strategy & Roadmapping in Indonesia

Develop AI strategy for Indonesian businesses navigating UU PDP, GR 71/2019, and OJK regulations in a market growing to USD 10.88B by 2030.

Indonesia's AI market is growing rapidly, with 47% year-on-year adoption growth and 5.9 million businesses newly adopting AI in 2024. However, 57% of businesses cite lack of skilled personnel as the top barrier. Government programmes including Kartu Prakerja (IDR 4.2 million per participant, 18.9 million cumulative beneficiaries), Digital Talent Scholarship (60,000 scholarships in 2025), and elevAIte Indonesia (targeting 1 million AI-skilled individuals) demonstrate strong public investment in AI literacy. The 200% super tax deduction for vocational training further incentivises corporate investment. Training must be delivered in Bahasa Indonesia for domestic audiences, with blended learning as the dominant format.

CHALLENGES IN INDONESIA

Why organizations in Indonesia need ai strategy & roadmapping

57% Skills Gap as Top Barrier

57% of Indonesian businesses cite lack of skilled personnel as the top barrier to AI adoption, despite 92% of knowledge workers already using generative AI. The gap is between informal AI use and structured, governed AI capability.

Subsidised Training Pathway Complexity

Multiple government programmes (Kartu Prakerja, DTS, elevAIte Indonesia) offer AI training subsidies, but navigating eligibility and application processes is complex. Businesses need guidance to maximise available funding.

Bahasa Indonesia Delivery Requirement

Effective AI training for Indonesian domestic teams must be delivered in Bahasa Indonesia. Most global AI training content is English-first, creating a gap that locally-adapted programmes must fill.
