Microsoft to invest $1.7 billion into AI infrastructure in Indonesia, CEO Satya Nadella says


The funds will also go toward training 840,000 Indonesians in AI skills and supporting the local community of developers.

Nadella met with Jokowi in Jakarta on Tuesday to discuss topics including technological and AI breakthroughs that will help Indonesia progress, according to Indonesian news agency Antara. Microsoft's investment will allow it to capitalize on the increasing demand for cloud computing services in Indonesia, as well as enabling the nation to capture economic and productivity opportunities arising from AI, the tech giant said. Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Muhadjir Effendy in January said that Indonesia faces huge challenges in leveling up its workforce to compete in a technological and globalized era.
