Topics
What is BHTV?
It is an initiative to create a condusive ecosystem where business based
on technology can grow. Originally it is an initiative of "Deperindag" (Ministry
of Industry and Trade) to increase Indonesia's export. However, now it is
become a movement.
Where is BHTV? Is it a place somewhere
in Bandung?
Well, the name implies "Bandung" city. However, BHTV covers an area between
Jakarta and Bandung. There is no physical place.
Are you trying to immitate Silicon
Valley?
Not really. We are not trying to copy Silicon Valley verbatim. We understand
that we are different. What we want to copy is the "spirit of Silicon Valley,"
where people are really focused (serious) in what they are doing.
Why Bandung?
Bandung has the highest density of technology and human resources (in
technology). Bandung has top universities in Indonesia (which attract talented
students from all over Indonesia). For example, ITB attracts top 5% of Indonesian
students. Research institutions are scattered in Bandung (eg. RISTI [research
body of PT Telkom], four Inter University Research Centers [PPAU], B4T, LAPAN
[atomic research]). Government entities that deal with technology are located
in Bandung (eg. PT Telkom, PT Pos, Perumka, Pindad, LEN, LIPI, and many more).
You could not find a better place than Bandung for this.
Is BHTV exclusively an IT
initiative?
No. It is not. There are discussions on biotechnology, nano technology, and
other technologies. IT is just one of many potential technologies BHTV initiative
is interested in. However, IT people are more vocal. Thus, they are more
dominant in the discussions.
