Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education (Higher Education Research and Technology), Mohammad Nasir, had said it wanted to build a center of technological innovation as well as Silicon Valley in San Francisco, California, United States.

However, in contrast with the concept of Silicon Valley shape later. He wished that the innovation center will not be limited to only information technology, but other technologies such as agricultural, marine, energy, etc. by optimizing research conducted by universities such as IPB, ITB, UGM, and UNDIP and supported collaboration with industry. Currently it plans to make 100 techno park as a meeting point between industrialists with investigators.

This plan is also to get the attention of observers technological innovation, Teknopreneur Indonesia, Marzuki Adie. According to him, the ideals that do Menristek Higher Education should be appreciated, but in actual work done remains unclear.

"Her goal anyway already bener. Effortnya unclear how willing," he said.

He revealed it is not without reason. Because, until now there is no fabric of good communication between researchers with industry, so that some of the research that has been done should be wasted each year.

"There has not been a good communication between researchers with industry." Said Adie.

In his opinion, the Silicon Valley because it was built as a generic with initiatives from Stanford University and Hewlett-Packard (HP). They have the same goal, thus forming industrial clusters. Even so also the division of roles of each sector and market shares are also arranged naturally. Eg semiconductor and software sectors that supply the sector such as Cisco routers, or sector that supplies hardware platforms sectors such as Facebook, Twitter, and so forth.

"Stanford, Berkeley or MIT serves as a research institution and a supplier of manpower according to the needs of the industry which is actually very familiar with the campus. So if you want to make a techno park, familiarity should make the first inter-university and research institutions with industry," he said.

Head of the Creative Economy (BEKraf), Triawan Munaf planning to invite the mother-housewife to learn coding or programming. It was he expressed during a dialogue with the startup at the Ideafest.

He reasoned that the future needs of the programmer will be increased, while the number of programmers today still little. Therefore, he would like to invite a housewife who basically have free time to learn programming.

"Currently it if the learner to learn coding it, time is limited. While the mother-housewife had more time so that it can learn programming," he said in Jakarta, Saturday (8/8).

The idea that he was instigated by the name of 'coding mom' it will provide short courses for example three weeks to the mother-housewife. Once they are proficient, he said, the mother-housewife could be a 'supplier' for the startup in the country, such as Gojek, Tokopedia, and so forth.

The concept was, admitted recently discussed also with the startup and approved them. This plan will be earned materialize this year.

Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education (Higher Education Research and Technology), Mohammad Nasir and Coordinating Minister for maritime, Indroyono Susilo just release the departure of three vessels for marine research and fisheries. The three ships namely Riger, the Baruna Jaya IV, and Bawal White III.

Higher Education Research and Technology brags if the three ships are the most advanced vessel owned by Indonesia to conduct maritime research field. According to him, the three vessels each equipped with the latest technology.

"For example, like Rigel ship. The ship is the latest to be caught including sonar 10 km. It's incredible 10 km to do research on marine and fisheries. And this Riger ship most sophisticated. Because it is unmanned," he said.

Then he went on, there are ships Bawal White III is equipped with a submarine that can be boarded four people to roam the depths of 100 meters.

Meanwhile, for the vessel Baruna Jaya IV had the technology Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) which is able to detect the swift underwater currents that are useful for researching marine life.

Nevertheless, he acknowledged the advanced equipment in all boat that was not made in Indonesia, but most of Germany. "In the overall technology research equipment made in Germany and includes sophisticated. But there are some who from Indonesia. If the ship itself for the average foreign-made," he said.
