Indonesia is set to attract approximately Rp 360 trillion ($23 billion) in data center investments, according to statements from Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto.
The government announced that a consortium of investors plans to construct facilities with a total capacity of 1.3 gigawatts (GW).
Nvidia is among the entities cited as participating in the development, marking a significant expansion of the chipmaker’s footprint in Southeast Asia.
The announcement underscores the accelerating demand for AI infrastructure in emerging markets.
As global tech giants race to build out data center capacity to support artificial intelligence workloads, Indonesia is leveraging its strategic location and growing digital economy to capture a share of this capital expenditure.
The 1.3 GW capacity represents a substantial addition to the region’s existing infrastructure, potentially reducing latency for users in the Asia-Pacific region.
