Heaptalk, Jakarta — Microsoft has officially commenced its US$1.7 billion, or around Rp27 trillion, investment in the Archipelago. According to the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs, the investment is set to strengthen the country’s AI capabilities and cloud infrastructure, aligning with Indonesia’s national strategy for digital transformation.

This measure was formally acknowledged during a high-level meeting at the Ministry of Digital Affairs in Jakarta, attended by Minister Meutya Hafid, Deputy Minister Nezar Patria, and Microsoft Indonesia President Director Dharma Simorangkir.

“This digital transformation agenda comes directly from the President, and we are responding with policies that enhance Indonesia’s competitiveness. AI is more than animated videos. We aim to showcase real solutions and success stories that can inspire,” Minister Hafid.

The government’s support for digital growth extends beyond infrastructure to encompass regulatory readiness as well. Deputy Minister Nezar Patria noted that a robust data governance framework is being developed through the Government Cloud initiative. Although not wholly state-owned, Nezar claimed that the platform is built within the framework of national data classification and governance.

The investment of this tech-giant technology company includes the development of a local cloud region in Indonesia. This infrastructure is expected to cater to domestic demands and support international businesses operating within the country.

The President Director Dharma Simorangkir revealed that the Indonesian cloud region will be officially launched during the Microsoft AI Tour in Jakarta on May 27. He claimed that this measure is more than just a technology deployment; it also reflects Indonesia’s readiness to emerge as a key player in the global AI ecosystem.

Beyond data centers, Microsoft also plans to foster local innovation through research collaborations and the development of digital products with global market potential. The initiative represents a strategic blend of investment, talent development, and international cooperation.

As the company announced in the middle of last year, Microsoft plans to invest USD 1.7 billion over the next four years in the archipelago’s new cloud and AI infrastructure. The investment will also foster the growth of Indonesia’s developer community through new initiatives, such as AI Odyssey, which is expected to help around 10,000 local developers become AI subject matter experts by learning new skills.
