Metanesia, Telkom's Strategy to Dominate the Metaverse
PT Telkom Indonesia Tbk (TLKM) launched Metanesia, touted as the first metaverse ecosystem in Indonesia. State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) Minister Erick Thohir said Metanesia is Telkom's adaptation to changing times and concrete steps for SOEs to accelerate an integrated digital ecosystem. "Don't let other countries create a new world with Indonesia as the new market, and we will regret it," he said Monday.
Erick said Metanesia, an acronym for Metaverse Indonesia, is a synergy of the strengths of SOEs, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and the private sector in building a new world that remains mutually beneficial. He exemplifies that Metanesia can facilitate PT Sarinah to display MSME products. Through Metanesia, PT Bio Farma can provide convenience for online health consultations. "We have our strength. SOEs, MSMEs, and the private sector are part of Indonesia's metaverse ecosystem," he said.
