Indonesia’s sovereign wealth fund, Indonesia Investment Authority (INA), is expanding its investment involvement in the data center sector amid growing global demand for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure (26/05). INA is taking part in investments across private companies and funds linked to the data center industry.

The fund is increasing its exposure to infrastructure that supports AI development and digital transformation, according to statements from its investment leadership.

INA Allocates Rp74.5 Trillion with Focus on Digital Infrastructure

INA and its partners have allocated around Rp74.5 trillion so far, with approximately 30% directed toward digital infrastructure investments, according to Chief Investment Officer Christopher Ganis.

INA currently manages more than US$8 billion, equivalent to around Rp142.33 trillion. The fund has already completed several transactions in the digital infrastructure sector.

Ganis stated that INA has been actively investing in infrastructure assets linked to technology development, including digital systems that support data-driven industries.

Investment Includes Participation in DayOne Data Centres Funding Round

INA has participated in a funding round for DayOne Data Centres Ltd., a spin-off company from China’s GDS Holdings Ltd.

This investment forms part of INA’s broader involvement in digital infrastructure and data center-related assets. The participation reflects its engagement in private sector funding within the sector.

Global Surge in Data Center Investments Driven by AI Demand

The expansion of INA’s investment strategy comes amid a global increase in data center investment activity linked to artificial intelligence growth.

According to Moody’s Ratings, at least US$3 trillion is expected to flow into data center-related investments over the next five years, highlighting the scale of global capital movement into the sector.

This trend has created significant investment opportunities for sovereign wealth funds such as INA, which are participating in the growing digital infrastructure market.
