Jakarta ● Tue, May 24, 2022
Jakarta and the cities surrounding it may be far ahead of the rest of the country when it comes to developing and applying new technologies, but a survey by a leading investor in Indonesian start-ups says this is gradually changing as cities and regencies outside Greater Jakarta show steady improvement in digital competitiveness.
"[The] spread value between the highest performing city/regency with the lowest is also getting narrower, which indicates the decrease in the digital competitiveness gap," East Ventures (EV) said in a press release published on Tuesday to accompany its survey report, titled Digital Competitiveness Index 2022: Towards Indonesia's Digital Golden Era .
The venture capital firm assessed the annual digital competitiveness of Indonesia's cities and regencies and found that the gaps between top-ranking and bottom-ranking regions had narrowed from 2020 to 2021. This narrowed even further over the following year to 2022, with Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Bekasi and Depok topping the latest rankings.
