The official launch of the Green Digital Economy Platform (GDEP) was announced on 13 September, as a significant step for Indonesia and Korea toward championing sustainability, fostering digital well-being, and advancing the digital economy
The GDEP is spearheaded by HumanX, a global partnership promoting human-centred technology, in collaboration with the Maju Tani Movement in Indonesia, and the DQ Institute. By leveraging Korea's technological advancements, Indonesia's vast market and resources, and global R&D and investment, the GDEP aims to drive transformative digital innovations across agri-tech, climate-tech, and carbon trading. Farmers will therefore receive digital literacy and digital skill training while gaining access to cutting-edge practices and technologies, including meta-farming. The multifaceted impacts on the digital economy and sustainability will be monitored through the Digital-ESG Index, led by the Taskforce on Digital-Related Financial Disclosure.
"Through the GDEP, we aim to empower 62 million Indonesian farmers with AI and digital transformation, positioning Indonesia as a global leader in agri-tech innovation,” stated Indonesia's Presidential Chief of Staff, Moeldoko. He further addressed the significance of sustainability and the digital economy, particularly in addressing food security.
Moeldoko who also serves as the chairman of the Indonesian Farmers' Association (HKTI), has recently become the ‘Father of the Maju-Tani Movement of Indonesia’. This grass-root movement, led by the young generation in Indonesia, aims to transform traditional agriculture into a highly profitable agri-tech sector.
Kim Sang-Hyup, the chairperson of the Presidential Commission on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth, who co-chairs with Han Duck-Soo, the Prime Minister of Korea, said, "Indonesia is an important strategic partner of Korea. As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic partnership, both countries need to forge concrete economic collaborations to collectively pursue carbon neutrality and digital innovation, bolstering the green economy. Hence, this collaboration holds significant meaning."
