This study uses qualitative descriptive analysis techniques, researchers collect information and secondary data from various sources and research results from previous journals related to the digitization of micro, small, and medium enterprises. From the results of the study, information was obtained that the challenge of micro, small and medium enterprises in implementing digitalization is to return to human resources who have low knowledge about digitalization, low skills, lack of experience, as well as the low interest of micro and small businesses to want to learn information and communication technology, besides that lack of access to supporting facilities and infrastructure is also an obstacle to the implementation of digitalization. Meanwhile, basically the Indonesian Government has taken quite a lot of steps to optimize the productivity of micro, small and medium enterprises in the midst of the rapid development of digital technology. Based on this, the author suggests that the Government of Indonesia more intensively optimize the equitable implementation of digitalization in micro, small and medium enterprises in Indonesia which is also followed by increasing digital literacy for micro, small and medium enterprises.
