Empowering the Future: MyRepublic and Komdigi Launch the Digital Tunas Generation Rocket Program
In an era where connectivity is as essential as electricity, the focus is shifting from simply providing internet access to ensuring that the people using it—especially the younger generation—are equipped to handle the digital world safely and effectively. To address this, MyRepublic Indonesia, a prominent player in the fiber optic internet sector, has joined forces with the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) to launch a landmark initiative called the 'Digital Tunas Generation Rocket' program.
This isn't just another corporate social responsibility project. It is a strategic move designed to bolster digital literacy across Indonesia. More importantly, it serves as a practical implementation of Government Regulation (PP) TUNAS No. 17 of 2025. This specific regulation focuses on the governance of electronic systems to ensure child protection within the digital landscape, a topic that has become increasingly urgent as children spend more time online for education and recreation.
A Collaborative Mission for Digital Safety
The Digital Tunas Generation Rocket program is built on the foundation of collaboration. By working together, MyRepublic and Komdigi are creating a national digital education platform that reaches beyond just the students. The program is designed to include teachers, parents, and the broader educational community. The goal is to create a holistic support system where everyone involved in a child’s upbringing understands the nuances of the digital age.
Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs, Meutya Hafid, emphasized that the government’s vision for the nation’s infrastructure goes far beyond hardware. In a statement released on Friday, November 21, she noted that investing in connectivity is not merely about expanding a network. Instead, it is about nurturing the 'Digital Tunas'—the young buds of the nation who represent Indonesia’s greatest asset. Preparing this generation to navigate the digital world is a priority for the ministry.
Three Pillars of the Digital Tunas Program
To ensure the program delivers tangible results, MyRepublic and Komdigi have outlined three core objectives that will guide their activities over the coming year:
- Safe and Age-Appropriate Usage: The program aims to educate both children and parents on how to navigate the internet safely. This includes recognizing potential online threats and ensuring that the content being consumed is suitable for the child's developmental stage.
- Productive Digital Literacy: Beyond safety, the initiative provides the tools and knowledge necessary to turn online experiences into productive ones. This involves teaching students how to use digital devices for growth, learning, and creativity.
- Legal Compliance and Protection: The program acts as a real-world application of PP TUNAS No. 17 of 2025, setting a standard for how child protection should be managed in the electronic space.
Growing Global Talent from Home
For MyRepublic, this initiative is a reflection of their long-term commitment to the Indonesian people. Timothy Max Sulaiman, the Chief Executive Officer of MyRepublic Indonesia, stated that the company is dedicated to fostering local digital talent. He believes that by equipping the younger generation with the right skills, they will be ready to compete on a global stage. "Through the Digital Tunas Generation Rocket, we want to empower the youth to use technology not just frequently, but responsibly and productively," Timothy explained.

Scaling for Impact
The scale of this program is ambitious. Over the next year, the Digital Tunas Generation Rocket is expected to visit more than 200 schools across Indonesia. The target is to reach approximately 60,000 individuals, including students, teachers, and parents. By casting such a wide net, MyRepublic and Komdigi hope to build a massive wave of public awareness regarding the critical importance of digital protection from an early age.
This initiative marks a significant step forward in Indonesia’s journey toward a mature digital economy. By focusing on the safety and education of its youngest citizens, the country is laying the groundwork for a future where technology is a tool for empowerment rather than a source of risk.
