TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, chair of the Government Digital Transformation Acceleration Committee, announced that President Prabowo Subianto is scheduled to launch the government technology (GovTech) transformation nationwide in October 2026.
"The President will launch it nationwide in October," Luhut said after attending a meeting on the Acceleration of Social Assistance Digitalization at the Ministry of Home Affairs Headquarters in Jakarta on Tuesday, June 30, 2026.
According to Luhut, the GovTech pilot project is currently underway in 43 municipalities. The government aims to receive a report on the project's implementation by the end of July 2026.
Luhut said Prabowo has mandated digital transformation to become one of the government's priority programs. Not only will the system rely on the digitization of government services, it will also be supported by artificial intelligence (AI).
The committee chair said ai-processed data integration have been implemented across eight ministries and institutions. Meanwhile, data security aspects are strengthened with support from the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN).
He added that several regions, such as Surabaya, have demonstrated positive progress in GovTech implementation. This, Luhut said, created the opportunity for the government to expand the pilot project to additional regions before a nationwide rollout.
According to Luhut, all the software used in GovTech was developed by Indonesian talents. The government is also integrating around 27,000 applications currently spread across various ministries and institutions into a single digital service ecosystem.
"We are not purchasing or importing software, which increases costs. We are simply integrating around 27,000 applications across all ministries and institutions," he said.
Meanwhile, Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian stated that local governments support the accelerated implementation of GovTech.
According to Tito, the pilot project expansion was carried out after the trial in Banyuwangi demonstrated tangible benefits, particularly in improving the targeting accuracy of social assistance distribution.
