PT Nuon Digital Indonesia (Nuon), an operating company of PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (Telkom), reinforced its role as a key driver of Indonesia’s digital lifestyle ecosystem during the Nuon Media Update 2026 (30/03).

Amid projected growth in the digital entertainment industry, Nuon positions itself as a platform that connects content, distribution, and monetization to capture domestic economic value that has not been fully optimized.

Strategic Role in Content Distribution and Monetization

Indonesia’s online media sector is projected to reach USD 10–12 billion in 2026–2027, supported by over 190 million digital consumers and around 175 million active gamers.

CEO Aris Sudewo highlighted Nuon’s position in the digital value chain: “The main strength of Nuon lies in mastering digital distribution nodes.

With the largest connectivity infrastructure in Indonesia, we are strategically positioned to connect content, users, and monetization within a unified ecosystem.

We have the mandate to reduce value leakage while ensuring the national digital ecosystem grows independently and sustainably. Indonesia should not just be the largest digital market, we must be the host in our own country.”

Expanding Digital Reach Through Integrated Platforms

Nuon’s competitive advantage comes from integrating IP creation, platform distribution, payment systems, and consumer behavior insights into one connected ecosystem.

Supported by TelkomGroup’s ecosystem, covering more than 158 million mobile users and 11 million broadband households, along with an additional addressable market of 182 million mobile users and over 4 million broadband households, Nuon optimizes conversion, retention, and monetization end-to-end.

This integration creates an ecosystem flywheel model, which increases economic value per user sustainably.

Innovative Payment Solutions and Gaming Initiatives

Through Direct Carrier Billing (DCB), Nuon provides alternative payment options for unbanked and underbanked consumers.

This expands access to premium digital content and increases potential revenue for creators and partners.

Nuon manages game distribution and digital top-ups through UPOINT.ID and distributes game vouchers to national operators and partners.

Its music platforms, Langit Musik and Langitku, are supported by PlayUp for background music monetization.

Nuon is also developing Gaming-on-Demand HELD, which is currently in playtest, and offers ticketing services through Tiketapasaja.com to enhance live experience offerings.

Local IP Development to Strengthen National Digital Economy

Developing local IP in 2026 is a strategic priority to increase ownership of domestic creative assets and improve global competitiveness.

Synergy across Nuon’s service lines forms an integrated ecosystem that increases user lifetime value and strengthens the company’s role in Indonesia’s digital value chain.

Aris concluded, “With an integrated business structure from IP creation to monetization, Nuon evolves into a strategic digital asset within Telkom Group’s portfolio. This model not only expands non-connectivity revenue streams but also reinforces control over domestic digital economic value. Long-term, this integration is expected to boost the competitiveness of the national creative industry while contributing to sustainable digital economic growth in Indonesia.”
