Jakarta, INTI - Lintasarta is strengthening efforts to establish Indonesia’s digital sovereignty through its Merdeka AI initiative, providing artificial intelligence infrastructure and services that enable businesses to manage their data, security, and operations in compliance with national regulations.
The initiative aims to help domestic industries adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies securely, responsibly, and in alignment with their business requirements.
Lintasarta’s Director & Chief IT Services Officer, Ginandjar, stated that Merdeka AI reflects the company’s commitment to developing a digital foundation that supports the independence and competitiveness of Indonesia’s industries.
“For Lintasarta, Merdeka AI is more than just a technology initiative; it represents our commitment to strengthening Indonesia’s digital independence. We want to ensure that domestic industries have access to reliable AI infrastructure and capabilities while maintaining control over their data, security, and business operations,” Ginandjar said.
By developing digital infrastructure that operates within Indonesia, Lintasarta aims to expand access to AI technologies while ensuring that corporate data management remains under national jurisdiction.
Cloudeka Supports Domestic Data Management
Lintasarta has developed Cloudeka, a cloud computing service designed to serve as a digital infrastructure foundation for businesses across various industrial sectors.
The service is built to address security, data management, and business operational requirements.
Through its Sovereign AI service, Cloudeka leverages data centers operating within Indonesia, allowing businesses to utilize digital infrastructure under national jurisdiction.
This approach is also intended to help companies maintain compliance with applicable Indonesian laws and regulations.
Lintasarta stated that it currently serves more than 30 percent of Indonesia’s state-owned enterprises (SOEs), as well as several leading digital companies.
In the banking sector, its customers include all national banks, various private banks, Islamic banks, and regional development banks (BPDs).
The company also serves businesses in the energy, oil, and gas industries, covering operations across both upstream and downstream sectors.
Lintasarta Obtains AI Governance Certification
As part of its efforts to strengthen technology governance, Lintasarta obtained the ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification for its Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) from TÜV SÜD Indonesia in October 2026.
According to the company, this achievement makes Lintasarta the first national information and communications technology (ICT) company in Indonesia to receive the certification.
The certification represents a significant step in the company's efforts to establish a systematic and responsible approach to AI management.
Lintasarta considers strong governance essential to ensuring that AI adoption remains aligned with industrial requirements and national regulations.
Merdeka AI Summit Promotes Industry Collaboration
As part of its broader Merdeka AI initiative, Lintasarta plans to organize the Merdeka AI Summit: Cloudeka Sovereign for Future Enterprise.
The forum will bring together government representatives, industry players, and technology ecosystem stakeholders to showcase Lintasarta’s AI capabilities.
The event is also intended to encourage collaboration in adopting artificial intelligence technologies that align with industry demands and national priorities.
“Merdeka AI is about building domestic capabilities so that businesses can establish a foundation aligned with their priorities. At the Merdeka AI Summit, we will demonstrate how Lintasarta integrates global expertise while prioritizing control over data and operations within Indonesia. This will enable businesses to capitalize on AI opportunities while safeguarding their digital sovereignty,” Ginandjar concluded.
