Wahana Piranti Teknologi: Promoting Digital Independence for the Nation

Lusius Aditya emphasized the important role of IT distributors in Indonesia’s digital ecosystem. He shared Wahana Piranti Teknologi’s experience as a company that not only sells solutions but also builds trust and educates the public about digital security, networking, and technological sustainability. “We don’t just distribute devices, we distribute trust,” Lusius said, touching on the spirit of technopreneurship rooted in social values ​​and utility.

In a question-and-answer session, Lusius also explained how Wahana actively supports campuses and communities through digital literacy programs, cybersecurity training, and strategic partnerships that open technology access to previously unreached areas. Students were encouraged to think not only as technology users but also as solution drivers who can address global challenges with a local approach.

With the support of industry figures like Lusius Aditya and institutions like Wahana Piranti Teknologi, the hope of emerging young Indonesian technopreneurs is becoming increasingly real, those who are not only technically proficient but also business- and socially resilient.
