** Indonesia’s Time to Join the Digital Global Economy (http://www.1776.vc/insights/indonesia-digital-global-economy/)
------------------------------------------------------------

Stacy Abigail Oentoro, 1776

The startup ecosystem in Indonesia is new, emerging, and could potentially become the solution to the country’s plethora of institutional gaps. Structural problems such as lack of distribution of quality education; gaps in sanitation and healthcare services; and poor city planning causing severe traffic congestion plague the country, especially in rapidly urbanizing cities such as Jakarta. Startups offer the potential to simplify processes and help solve these problems.

In the past few years, Indonesia has seen a substantial evolution in technology and venture capital investments; the traditional models reliant on natural resource exports and factory-led growth is disintegrating rapidly. Building a tech ecosystem undoubtedly takes time, but when tech entrepreneurs and investors look at the size of Indonesia's market, they should feel hopeful. With the growth of digital technology comes potential solutions to issues that plague the country. Indonesia has the opportunity now to create an entrepreneur-friendly environment where tech innovations and the digital economy can thrive.
