Five Years of Telkom Innovillage: Cultivating Young Social Innovators for a Sustainable Indonesia
In its five-year journey, Innovillage has engaged over 8,800 students from more than 100 universities and supported the implementation of more than 670 projects across various sectors.
SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Indonesia is currently facing a major challenge in accelerating its national digital transformation. To support an inclusive and sustainable digital economy, the government has set a target to produce 9 million digital talents by 2030. However, this need goes beyond technical skills it also requires critical thinking, leadership, social awareness, and creativity in innovation.
As a digital telecommunications company that continues to evolve into a digital ecosystem enabler, PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk sees the importance of empowering young people not just to use technology, but to create meaningful, technology-based solutions for society. Driven by this mission, Telkom launched Innovillage, a social innovation competition that empowers university students to become agents of change. First introduced in 2020, Innovillage is part of Telkom’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program. It provides a platform for students to innovate, collaborate, and create digital-based solutions that bring real impact to society. From the beginning, the program has focused on projects that support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and respond to local community needs.
