Feasibility Study on
National Science Technology Innovation Foundation
Individual Advisor for Sub Component 2.1

15 April 2015

Background
The couple Joko Widodo - Jusuf Kalla designs nine priority agenda
called Nawa Cita. This program was initiated to demonstrate the
priority of road changes towards Indonesia that is politically
authoritative, economically independent, culturally strong in personality.
In terms of research and technology, a few of the Nawacita programs are
directly related, namely:
The priority to build a number of science and technopark in the
polytechnic area and schools equipped with the latest technlogy of
infrastructure
and
facilities,
which
is
in
the
sixth
Nawacita, To improve peoples productivity and competitiveness in the
international market so that Indonesia can move forward and stand up
with other Asian nations.

The priority to achieve technological enforcement through the


policy of National Innovation System, which is in the seventh Nawacita, To
achieve economic independence by moving the strategic sectors of
domestic economy.

The priority to prioritize funding for research on science and


technology, which is in the eighth Nawacita, To revolutionize the nations
character.

As an embodiment of Nawacita, the Government of Working Cabinet


composes the National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2015 to
2019, as stipulated in the Presidential Regulation No. 2 of 2015 on
the National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2015-2019. In the
sub-section concerning Capacity Building of Innovation and Technology
there is a discussion on the efforts to increase the capacity of
science and technology through the target of science and technological
development as follows: First, to maximize
the results of research,
development and application of science and technology that support:
(a) the competitiveness of the local production of goods and services; (b)
the sustainability and utilization of natural resources; and (c) the
preparation of Indonesian society to meet the global challenges and sustainablity
future. Second, to maximize support for science and technological activities,
includingthe provision of human resources, infrastructure and facilities,
institutional, network. Third, the establishment of 100 Techno Park in
the district/city, and Science Park in each province in Indonesia.
RPJMN 2015-2019 highlights the importance of strengthening the quality and
utilization of science and technology to support the overall goal of improving the
countrys competitiveness and a move towards a more knowledge-based economy.

This vision is further articulated through three strategic pillars for government
action: improving institutions, resources (for technology generation), and networks (for
technology dissemination).
Innovation is rapidly becoming a priority in the country. Studies Porter (1998a,
1998b, 2001), Porter, Ketels, and Miller (2003) Porter and Ketels (2003),
PorterandStern
(2001)
found
that
the
clustersandcompetitionisthe
newagendasforcompanies, governments, and institutions.Furthermore, innovation
depends on location matters (Porter, 2001). Porter (2000b) explainsthatin
achievingcompetitiveness, we shouldpay attention tolocations, clusters, and
companystrategy. In the Indonesian context, A National Innovation Commission
(Komite Inovasi Nasional, KIN), an advisory body reporting directly to the president
and composed of members from the Ministry of Research and Technology
(Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi, RISTEK), non-ministerial research institutes
(Lembaga Pemerintah Non Kementerian, LPNK), academia, and private sector
representatives has been established to synergize the efforts of the various actors in
the national system and convene them on a regular basis, as well as develop
concrete policy implementation plans and mechanisms that cut across sectors.
This project aims at improving the system monitoring and managing the majority
of research fund in Indonesia. This program is in line with the Government's Work
Program, Nine Priorities Agenda (Nawa Cita), which aims at increasing research
budget to encourage technological innovation, and supporting agencies of
copyright and patent affairs to work more proactively, serving innovators and
inventors.
An ideal National Science Technology Innovation Foundation (NSTIF) must have
a strong legal foundation, clear main tasks and functions, flexibility in its financial
operating system, and high accountability and credibility both in the intraorganizational and inter-organizational levels.
By considering changes in the dynamic of external and internal environment, the
study of establishing National Science Technology Innovation Foundation
(NSTIF) -- formerly called Designing National Research Fund (DNR), will be
strengthened with the study of coherence between innovation funding and financial
budgeting system.
The Feasibility Study on National Science Technology Innovation
Foundation/NSTIF consists of the following activities: refining the concept and
the design of independent research funding institution as well as its roadmap, with
alternatives such as: (a)forming a new organization, which is an independent
National Science Technology Innovation Foundation (NSTIF) to integrate
research, science and technology funding; and (b) revitalizing/reforming
institutions outside Ministerial Government Departments (LPK) and Nonministerial Government Departments (LPNK) of Research Science and
Technology, such as SPIRIT (Scholarship Program for Strengthening the
Reforming Institutions) Bappenas (National Development Planning Agency),
Domestic Graduate Scholarship (BPP-DN) and Postgraduate Scholarship Abroad
3

(BPP-LN), Directorate of Higher Education (DIKTI), and Education Fund


Management Department of (LPDP) of the Ministry of Finance.
In order to improve Indonesias competitiveness in the knowledge economy, the
Ministry of Research and Technology with the support from the World Bank has
initiated a project named Research and Innovation in Science and Technology
Project (RISET- Pro). In the context of implementing the RISET project
especially to improve the result effectiveness of Insinas Program, the Project
Management Office (PMO) Ristek, through the ULP Work Unit Ristek, intends to
recruit an individual consultant.
