Indonesia's digital service industry has much potential to make the country's economy more competitive, especially by growing businesses focused on exports. However, the industry cannot grow and stay strong since there are not enough competent workers, people do not know enough about digital technology, and intellectual capital is not significantly developed. This study seeks to investigate the strategic significance of digital talent and knowledge-based assets in expediting the advancement of the digital service sector. A thorough literature analysis is undertaken to analyze the growth progression within the digital service industry and the changing significance of intellectual capital in recent years. The research aims to delineate essential skills and traits for digital talent to facilitate value creation and enhance Indonesia's global competitiveness. Bibliometric approaches examine relevant academic publications in the Scopus database from the last five years. This study helps to find research trends and gaps in knowledge. The review looks at how Indonesia's lack of talent and investment in acquiring digital skills affects its position in the global digital services market from both theoretical and practical points of view. The results will guide governmental initiatives on digital upskilling, education-industry partnership, and human capital development to cultivate a robust and export-driven digital ecosystem.
