Taiwan ….. a long experience in producing ICT products

Starting from mid 80s,

electronic & computer boards manufacturers play an important role in the significant grow of the Taiwan economy

(known as the Asian Tiger)

The world, including Indonesia can learn from the Taiwan experience

a consistent & continuous development ……….., Taiwan is now producing well known ICT products such as ACER, Asus, D-Link, BenQ etc.

These products are well known in Indonesia and are rapidly becoming a global brand, able to compete internationally.

on the other hand ….. Indonesia, a widespread archipelago with a large population has become a fast growing market for ICT products since early 90s

A continuous campaign for using ICT was introduced nationwide, to bridge the digital gap.

ICT experts in Indonesia, triggered by the domestic need have developed a number of ICT products, software for banks, SMEs, up to the design of wimax processor chip

Besides the widely use of ICT products, there is a grow in local expertise & local assembly lines

Can we promote a mutual benefit synergy between the two ? Combining the excellent manufacturing

capabilities in Taiwan together with the creative application development capabilities in Indonesia can be a starting point to develop future products

Building a competitive synergy in facilitating the creative industry

The market opportunity is widely open …….

There will be more and more products that will follow the ‘black berry’ experience (products in the digital culture)

Bundling hardware, software, content and application

local communities in many countries have their own creative application & priorities in entering the digital culture

The digital culture will differ from one nation to the other

Transforming into the future digital culture means exploring new ideas

Integrating features for specific applications Developing lap-top (or even a camera)

bundled with specific services or contents Developing hand-held reporting tools etc.

Hope this event will bring us closer..

Building a competitive synergy in facilitating the upcoming digital culture.

thank you ….
