Abstract

The paper presents the digital economy strengthening that acted as a stabilizer in the economic sector during the Covid-19 outbreak. In the lockdown period, most interactions between customers and suppliers must occur virtually. Although it still makes exceptions, digital operating is the only way to survive government restrictions on activities, including in the economic sector. This study uses the literature review method by taking from further research and expertise, and relevant information from the internet can recommend facing the pandemic period in business digitally by supporting Less Contact Economics. Digital companies use technology to create new value in business models, customer experiences and the internal capabilities that support their core operations. The term includes both digital-only brands and traditional players that are transforming their businesses with digital technologies. When face-to-face activities are difficult to do today, digital technology is the only solution that can ‘force’ business people to try this technology. This research will produce digital sector innovations that create several technology platforms in this new normal, namely Logistics and Supply Chain, EdTech, FinTech, AgriTech, HealthTech, SecurityTech. So, hoping that the digital sector is encouraged to reduce the worst impact on the economy. For example, being a substitute for economic activity that is currently limited and also the retail industry, the service sector that is directly affected amid the Covid-19 outbreak in the future is less contact economy. Innovation in the digital industry is increasingly needed to fill the diminishing face-to-face activities.
