TelkomGroup has launched the development of four Sovereign Digital Technology capabilities to strengthen Indonesia’s technological independence, support artificial intelligence (AI) development, expand Internet of Things (IoT) applications, and improve market access for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) (26/10).

The launch took place during the Danantara Technology Innovation Investment Forum (DTIIF) 2026 in Jakarta on Monday, October 26.

The four capabilities are AI Ready Data Center, AI ModelHub, National IoT Platform, and PaDiSera. Together, they support the development of Indonesia’s national digital technology ecosystem through infrastructure, AI applications, connected devices, and digital commerce.

TelkomGroup Introduces Four Strategic Digital Technology Capabilities

Danantara Chief Technology Officer Sigit Puji Santosa led the launch, accompanied by Managing Director of Strategic Technology Initiatives Danantara Irwan Rey, Telkom IT and Digital Director Kharim I. G. Siregar, and Telkom Strategic Business Development and Portfolio Director Seno Soemadji.

Sigit said the initiative should continue to develop through cooperation between Danantara, TelkomGroup, state-owned enterprises, and other stakeholders.

“Congratulations on the launch of TelkomGroup’s Sovereign Digital Technology. We hope this initiative can continue to develop through sustained collaboration between Danantara, TelkomGroup, state-owned enterprises, and stakeholders, enabling relevant innovations that deliver tangible benefits to society and the Indonesian economy,” Sigit said.

DTIIF 2026 runs from October 26 to 28 under the theme “Investing in Tomorrow: Advancing Technology, Innovation, and Sustainable Growth.” The forum brings together government representatives, state-owned enterprises, investors, industry players, and innovators to support technology development, innovation, and strategic investment for Indonesia’s economic growth.

During a visit to TelkomGroup’s exhibition booth, Kharim and Seno introduced the four capabilities as components of an integrated national digital technology ecosystem.

AI Ready Data Center and AI ModelHub Support Digital Independence

AI Ready Data Center, developed by TelkomGroup operating company NeutraDC, provides computing infrastructure to support the development and operation of various AI models in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. The company has an aspiration to expand its capacity to 1 gigawatt.

AI ModelHub provides integrated access to various AI models to support secure technology use while maintaining control over strategic national data.

Telkom President Director Nanang Hendarno said these capabilities form part of TelkomGroup’s role in building a competitive national digital ecosystem with technological independence.

“Digital independence must be built through comprehensive mastery of technological foundations, from infrastructure and computing to AI development and the implementation of digital solutions that address the needs of strategic sectors. Technological mastery must also be accompanied by the ability to build an integrated ecosystem, ensuring that technology not only enables transformation but also creates added value and improves national competitiveness,” Nanang said.

National IoT Platform Supports Operational Efficiency

Telkomsel’s National IoT Platform combines Internet of Things connectivity with AI-based analytics to support operational efficiency across various sectors. Approximately three million IoT devices have been deployed in Indonesia, according to the source article.

The platform supports different applications, including monitoring, security, and productivity improvement. It is one of the four capabilities TelkomGroup is developing to support the national digital technology ecosystem.

PaDiSera Expands Market Access for Indonesian MSMEs

PaDiSera is a national marketplace established by Danantara and supported by the technological foundation of PaDi UMKM. Since its launch in 2020, PaDi UMKM has facilitated more than 190,000 MSMEs in supplying the needs of state-owned enterprises.

Telkom’s experience in developing digital commerce platforms provides a foundation for supporting PaDiSera’s operations and expanding market access for MSMEs seeking to reach retail markets.

Nanang said TelkomGroup and Danantara aim to ensure that the benefits of digital transformation reach all segments of society, including through broader access to technology and market opportunities for MSMEs.

“TelkomGroup and Danantara want to ensure that the benefits of digital transformation can be experienced by all segments of society, including through expanded access to technology and market opportunities that enable MSMEs to grow and develop in the digital economy,” Nanang said.
