Purpose of the G20 DIN

G20 Digital Innovation Network is a premiere forum to share knowledge, encourage discussion, and build partnerships among global innovation players.

The G20 countries recognize that they hold a strategic role in securing future global economic growth and prosperity. Together, the G20 members represent more than 80% of world GDP, 75% of international trade, and 60& of the world population.

Therefore, the G20 Innovation Network aims to serve as a bridge of cooperation between public and private innovation players, startups, and corporates on a global scale.

During its Summits, startup companies share innovative solutions to address urgent issues faced by the world. It also helped in the recovery phase in the post-pandemic era.

The network was initiated by Italy in 2021 during its G20 Presidency. The aim to foster cooperation between public and private innovation players inspired Indonesia in continuing the league during its G20 Presidency.

Indonesia G20 Presidency:

Under its Recover Together; Recover stronger slogan, Indonesia recognizes the importance of collective action and inclusive collaboration among countries.

The global pandemic has affected every aspect of society, from health and education to international trade. At the same time, gaps in countries’ capacities to address the crisis continue to prevent the world from fully controlling the common problems.

Within its G20 Presidency, Indonesia focuses on three main pillars for its G20 2022 Presidency. These pillars are Global Health Architecture, Sustainable Energy Transition, and Digital Transformation.

Through this, Indonesia aims to take the lead in ensuring equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, promoting sustainable and inclusive economic development, and revolutionizing the digital economy.
