Despite ongoing efforts to bridge Indonesia's digital divide, robust digital infrastructure remains critical to unlocking the full potential of the country's digital economy.High-capacity, low-latency networks are increasingly becoming the foundation for a new generation of innovations, from internet of things (IoT) applications to artificial intelligence-powered services. At the same time, Indonesia faces another challenge: ensuring that the benefits of AI are accessible to everyone. Without adequate digital access and skills, only a limited segment of society may be able to fully harness AI technologies, potentially widening existing social and economic gaps.

Addressing these challenges requires a balanced approach that combines advanced connectivity, AI infrastructure and talent development.

Against this backdrop, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH) has joined forces with Nokia and NVIDIA to help build Indonesia's next-generation digital infrastructure. By combining advanced 5G connectivity with AI capabilities, the collaboration aims to accelerate inclusive digital transformation, strengthen national competitiveness and prepare Indonesia for opportunities in the AI era.

The partnership was highlighted during a media discussion at Indosat's headquarters in Jakarta on June 9, where executives outlined their vision for Indonesia's next chapter of digital infrastructure development.
