Developing Low-Carbon Digital Infrastructure
Through the MoU, TelkomGroup and EDB will explore the development of low-carbon digital infrastructure supported by cross-border low-carbon electricity supplies.
The initiative is expected to strengthen a more sustainable regional technology ecosystem while accelerating energy transition efforts across Southeast Asia.
Telkom President Director Dian Siswarini said the collaboration represents a strategic move to strengthen Indonesia’s role in the regional digital infrastructure value chain.

Moving forward, Telkom will continue expanding collaborations with governments, global partners, and industry players to accelerate the development of a more integrated, sustainable, and globally competitive digital ecosystem.
