BATIC 2023, a Moment for Telkom to Advocate Business Transformation

Budi Satria Dharma Purba, Chief Executive Officer of Telin, believes that collaboration is imperative in the era of digital transformation. Collaboration can take the form of establishing an open platform for telecommunications companies to jointly bear the burden of investment.

Vincent Stevens, Senior Managing Director of Delta Partners, elaborated that the telecommunications industry's great prospects lie in Web3 innovation and artificial intelligence (AI). These two technologies will continue to evolve and collaborate.

"Most importantly, this can only succeed if there is connectivity, cloud infrastructure, security, and other enabling technologies in place for this revolution," Vincent said during the Preparing Web3 Economy session.

During the session titled "The New Telco Business Model” at BATIC 2023, Elisabetta Romano, Chief Network Operations & Wholesale Officer of TIM, emphasized that telecommunications companies need to promptly build reliable infrastructure to meet the dynamic needs of customers.

BATIC 2023 served as a networking and discussion platform for participants from various backgrounds. In the future, it is not unlikely that this event could lead to concrete business collaborations.

Telin serves as an example of this potential. Telkom's subsidiary officially formed a partnership with PT Citranet Sarana Digital (CitraConnect), marked by the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU). Additionally, Telin collaborated on underwater cable internet connectivity in Nongsa Digital Park (NDP).

NDP serves as an underwater cable connectivity infrastructure aimed at being a digital ecosystem hub in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. In the future, both Telin and CitraConnect will harness the potential of underwater cable technology for broadband data transmission.

This project is expected to make a significant contribution to the growth of communication networks and the promotion of technological advancement. "Through this collaboration, we will provide high-quality broadband internet connectivity for customers," said Budi.
