The discussion was opened by Hanum Yahya, Head of the Working Group and Country Head of Public Affairs, Communications & Engagement at Novartis Indonesia, and moderated by Harimurti Listianto, Deputy Head I of the Working Group and Government Affairs Head at Anugerah Pharmindo Lestari.

EuroCham was invited to the DigiWeek 2022, an annual flagship conference initiated and organized by our member, the Center for Indonesian Policy Studies (CIPS). This year’s conference provides the opportunity for government and non-government stakeholders to engage in a meaningful and constructive policy dialogue. This dialogue discussed ways as to how regulations can be adjusted while recognizing the impacts and challenges that the digital transformation is experiencing across all sectors of the economy and society. In light of Indonesia’s G20 Presidency in 2022, the focus of this year’s DigiWeek Conference is on Indonesia’s push towards a safe and inclusive digital ecosystem for all, and the constructive policy solutions needed to achieve this. To enrich the conversation with insights and different perspectives, DigiWeek 2022 presented 20+ sessions online & 30+ speakers in person from Indonesia and abroad.
