Jakarta, INTI – The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi), has partnered with Oracle to establish the largest artificial intelligence (AI) hub in Southeast Asia. This strategic collaboration marks a significant milestone in Indonesia’s efforts to strengthen digital sovereignty and enhance its technological competitiveness on the global stage.
Massive GPU Cluster Set to Launch in 2025
In an official statement in Jakarta on Monday, May 5, 2025, Minister of Communication and Digital Meutya Hafid announced that Oracle will launch a public cloud region in Indonesia in the third quarter of 2025. The facility is projected to become a state-of-the-art data center capable of supporting large-scale AI workloads.
“Indonesia does not want to remain merely a user but aims to become a hub for AI development in Southeast Asia. The GPU cluster being developed by Oracle will be a critical foundation for our national AI ecosystem,” said Meutya. She emphasized that this infrastructure will also support data sovereignty and unlock vast opportunities for technological innovation.
Human Capital Development as a Core Priority
Beyond infrastructure, the partnership also focuses on strengthening human capital. Komdigi and Oracle plan to provide AI training for students, workers, and public servants, with a goal of equipping over 100,000 Indonesians within the next three years.
“Digital transformation can only be achieved with resilient human resources. That is why AI education is a vital part of our strategy,” Meutya added.
Oracle: Indonesia Is a Dynamic AI Growth Hub
Chris Chelliah, Senior Vice President of Oracle for Japan and Asia Pacific, stated that Indonesia is a strategic market with strong potential to become a regional AI leader. “We see Indonesia as a dynamic growth center for AI. Oracle is not only bringing in technology and investment, but also building infrastructure tailored to local needs, from data security to sustainable digital ecosystems,” he said.
Oracle, which has operated in Indonesia for over 30 years, is now expanding its commitment by developing a public cloud region equipped with a massive GPU cluster. This technology will enable large-scale AI processing, a key enabler across various sectors such as public services, creative industries, and smart city development.
Joint Task Force to Develop National AI Roadmap
As a follow-up step, Komdigi and Oracle will establish a joint working group to develop a national AI roadmap. The roadmap aims to foster an inclusive and globally competitive AI ecosystem in Indonesia.
Conclusion: Indonesia Marches Toward Digital Sovereignty
The strategic collaboration between Komdigi and Oracle highlights Indonesia’s strong commitment to building a sovereign and innovative digital future. With world-class infrastructure and robust human capital development programs, Indonesia is not only preparing to face global tech challenges but is also positioning itself to lead AI transformation in Southeast Asia.
