Alibaba Cloud Consistency Brings Continuous Support to Southeast Asia's Digital Economy and Ecosystem

The 35 Southeast Asian regions hold one of the key strengths of the world's digital economy. Why not, its rapid growth has made this area worth considering thanks to various market factors, one of which is the Indonesian market. It was stated that Indonesia's digital economy has growth potential that cannot be underestimated. According to the DS/innovate report, the value of Indonesia's digital economy estimated will reach a value of 146 billion dollars, with growth that could reach an average of 20 percent annually.

This positive trend certainly deserves to be preserved. One of the ways is through continuous appreciation and support. That is the foundation of the spirit of Alibaba Cloud, a global entity providing cloud computing technology solutions on a global scale through the Project AsiaForward campaign. This campaign clearly aims to provide sustainable support for the technology ecosystem in the Southeast Asian region, including Indonesia.

Some time ago, the Project AsiaForward campaign successfully held an appreciation initiative titled AsiaStar 10x10, in which this initiative was created to welcome the diversity of achievements from various technology entities, by collaborating with a number of partners within the Southeast Asian technology ecosystem. for 100 companies, communities, and technology projects across ten categories. Several names that are familiar to the Indonesian market are also included in the AsiaStar 10x10 appreciation.

Apart from the previous event, Project AsiaForward actually carried out several programs. Quoted from the official website, this support project carries strategic programs such as the Startup Program, Developer Program and Talent Program. In Indonesia itself, through Alibaba Cloud Indonesia, the ongoing support that has been brought is also maximally implemented through a startup acceleration program entitled "Alibaba Cloud Go Startup Program 2022".

Technological talent is clearly considered to play an important role in advancing the ecosystem. Indonesia, which is known to have the "fattest" market in Southeast Asia, is also not left behind in having talent with global competitiveness. The Alibaba Cloud Go Startup Program 2022 itself is a digital acceleration initiated by Alibaba Cloud, in realizing the company's mission of supporting digital startup businesses and all actors in it who come from various backgrounds.

As a provider of cloud computing technology solutions, Alibaba Cloud provides a number of comprehensive acceleration supports for startups, such as mentorship programs, community networking, demo days, to coupons programs, technical support, to technical training. The Alibaba Cloud Go Startup Program 2022 program itself has been successfully implemented throughout the second quarter to the third quarter of this year.

For the Indonesian startup industry and ecosystem, the ongoing support provided by Alibaba Cloud is certainly very interesting to be considered. Moreover, the technology industry and internet business continue to evolve rapidly, this kind of support has proven to have accelerated a significant push for a number of internet business players in the country.

Familiar names in the Indonesian technology industry, such as Tokopedia and DANA, are some of the startups that have shared success stories with Alibaba Cloud. Tokopedia for example, as one of the largest eCommerce platforms in Indonesia, focuses on improving platform security in a more effective and manageable way. Together with Alibaba Cloud, Tokopedia implemented Alibaba Cloud Hybrid WAF (HWAF), with capabilities that can be used on other cloud platforms, this solution allows Tokopedia to synchronize Alibaba Cloud WAF for security rules and provides Tokopedia with a centralized portal to manage the security of their applications across multiple platforms. With this, HWAF provides the same level of security for web applications as Alibaba Cloud WAF.

DANA and Alibaba Cloud also experienced similar improvisation. As one of the leading e-wallet service providers in Indonesia, DANA utilizes a variety of Alibaba Cloud solutions consisting of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) into its infrastructure. The solution implemented is DANA's effort to improve product performance and a qualified security system entrusted to Alibaba Cloud.
