Australian AI infrastructure provider Firmus Technologies has agreed to develop a new data centre in Batam, Indonesia, in partnership with Singapore-based DayOne.
The project is underpinned by an eight-year strategic agreement with Nvidia, marking a significant expansion of the chipmaker's physical footprint in the Asia-Pacific region.
This move follows earlier reports that Nvidia had thrown its weight behind Firmus Group's ambitious $20 billion data centre development plan in Indonesia.
The development aligns with Nvidia's broader strategy to decentralize AI compute capacity beyond traditional hubs.
By anchoring a long-term partnership in Batam, the chipmaker is signaling confidence in Indonesia's growing role as a regional data centre destination.
For Firmus, the deal validates its pivot toward large-scale infrastructure projects, leveraging Nvidia's technology stack to offer more cost-effective access to computing power for emerging artificial intelligence companies.
