As one of the world\u2019s largest emerging markets, Indonesia is making strides toward its \u201cGolden 2045 Vision\u201d \u2014 an initiative tapping digital technologies and bringing together government, enterprises, startups and higher education to enhance productivity, efficiency and innovation across industries.<\/p>\n

Building out the nation\u2019s AI infrastructure is a crucial part of this plan.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Indonesian telecommunications leader Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, aka Indosat or IOH, has partnered with Cisco and NVIDIA to support the establishment of Indonesia\u2019s AI Center of Excellence (CoE). Led by the Ministry of Communications and Digital Affairs, called Komdigi, the CoE aims to advance secure technologies, cultivate local talent and foster innovation through collaboration with startups.<\/p>\n

Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison President Director and CEO Vikram Sinha, Cisco Chair and CEO Chuck Robbins and NVIDIA Senior Vice President of Telecom Ronnie Vasishta today detailed the purpose and potential of the CoE during a fireside chat at Indonesia AI Day<\/a>, a conference focused on how artificial intelligence can fuel the nation\u2019s digital independence and economic growth.<\/p>\n

As part of the CoE, a new NVIDIA AI Technology Center will offer research support, NVIDIA Inception<\/a> program benefits for eligible startups, and NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute<\/a> training and certification to upskill local talent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the support of global partners, we\u2019re accelerating Indonesia\u2019s path to economic growth by ensuring Indonesians are not just users of AI, but creators and innovators,\u201d Sinha added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe AI era demands fundamental architectural shifts and a workforce with digital skills to thrive,\u201d Robbins said. \u201cTogether with Indosat, NVIDIA and Komdigi, Cisco will securely power the AI Center of Excellence \u2014 enabling innovation and skills development, and accelerating Indonesia\u2019s growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocratizing AI is more important than ever,\u201d Vasishta added. \u201cThrough the new NVIDIA AI Technology Center, we\u2019re helping Indonesia build a sustainable AI ecosystem that can serve as a model for nations looking to harness AI for innovation and economic growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Making AI More Accessible<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Indonesia AI CoE will comprise an AI factory<\/a> that features full-stack NVIDIA AI infrastructure \u2014 including NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs<\/a>, NVIDIA Cloud Partner<\/a> reference architectures and NVIDIA AI Enterprise<\/a> software \u2014 as well as an intelligent security system powered by Cisco.<\/p>\n

Called the Sovereign Security Operations Center Cloud Platform, the Cisco-powered system combines AI-based threat detection, localized data control and managed security services for the AI factory.<\/p>\n

Building on the sovereign AI<\/a> initiatives Indonesia\u2019s technology leaders announced with NVIDIA last year<\/a>, the CoE will bolster the nation\u2019s AI strategy through four core pillars:<\/p>\n

Some 28 independent software vendors and startups are already using IOH\u2019s NVIDIA-powered AI infrastructure to develop cutting-edge technologies that can speed and ease workflows across higher education and research, food security, bureaucratic reform, smart cities and mobility, and healthcare.<\/p>\n

With Indosat\u2019s coverage across the archipelago, the company can reach hundreds of millions of Bahasa Indonesian speakers with its large language model (LLM<\/a>)-powered applications.<\/p>\n

For example, using Indosat\u2019s Sahabat-AI collection of Bahasa Indonesian LLMs, the Indonesia government and Hippocratic AI are collaborating to develop an AI agent<\/a> system that provides preventative outreach capabilities, such as helping women subscribers over the age of 50 schedule a mammogram. This can help prevent or combat breast cancer and other health complications across the population.<\/p>\n

Separately, Sahabat-AI also enables Indosat\u2019s AI chatbot to answer queries in the Indonesian language for various citizen and resident services. A person could ask about processes for updating their national identification card, as well as about tax rates, payment procedures, deductions and more.<\/p>\n

In addition, a government-led forum is developing trustworthy AI frameworks tailored to Indonesian values for the safe, responsible development of artificial intelligence and related policies.<\/p>\n

Looking forward, Indosat and NVIDIA plan to deploy AI-RAN technologies that can reach even broader audiences using AI over wireless networks.<\/p>\n
