Jakarta, INTI - Indonesia’s Minister of Investment and Downstreaming and Head of BKPM, as well as CEO of Danantara Indonesia, Rosan Roeslani, has invited global investors to explore opportunities in Indonesia’s digital economy and technology infrastructure sectors.
Indonesia’s digital economy is projected to expand significantly, potentially reaching US$360 billion by 2030, equivalent to approximately IDR 5,500 trillion.
“Jakarta has already established itself as the country’s leading data center hub. We want the next generation of AI-ready infrastructure to be developed here,” Rosan said at the Jakarta Investment Festival (JIF) Summit 2026 at the Shangri-La Hotel in Jakarta on Friday (August 28).
Jakarta Eyes the Next Wave of AI and Digital Investment
Rosan explained that global investment trends are shifting beyond the pursuit of low-cost production toward future-oriented sectors, including digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing.
Indonesia, particularly Jakarta, is considered well positioned to capture these opportunities, supported by its dynamic digital market, young and innovative population, and significant clean energy potential.
Tax Incentives Strengthen Indonesia’s Investment Appeal
To accelerate the development of the technology ecosystem and strengthen the availability of skilled talent, the government is also offering substantial tax incentives through its super tax deduction scheme.
Companies conducting research and development (R&D) activities in Indonesia may receive tax deductions of up to 300%, while businesses providing vocational education and training programs can qualify for incentives of up to 200%.
The government is also preparing the establishment of the Indonesia International Financial Center (IIFC), which will initially be developed in Jakarta before expanding to Bali.
“For investors, this means Jakarta is being positioned not only as an investment destination, but also as a gateway to capital, a place to structure transactions, and a base for conducting business according to global standards,” Rosan said.
Conclusion
With its growing digital economy, strategic position, and investor-friendly policies, Jakarta is positioning itself as a regional hub for data centers, AI-ready infrastructure, and digital investment. By combining infrastructure development, fiscal incentives, access to global finance, and a growing talent ecosystem, Indonesia aims to attract greater investment while building a more competitive and future-ready digital economy.
