Jakarta buzzed with innovation on December 2, 2025, as the Huawei Cloud Summit Indonesia convened, bringing together over 500 leaders from government, enterprises, and the broader tech ecosystem. The overarching theme? Unlocking new opportunities in the burgeoning AI era and propelling Indonesia towards its ambitious vision of a fully Digital Indonesia.

Indonesia’s Digital Vision Takes Center Stage

Xin Dajiang, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Huawei Indonesia, eloquently articulated Huawei Cloud’s deep-rooted commitment to the nation. He highlighted extensive collaborations with industry giants like Telkomsel, Indosat, XLSmart, and PLN, as well as serving local powerhouses such as Bluebird, BCA, CT Corp, and Alfamart. These partnerships, extending to hundreds of small and medium-sized enterprises, are not just about technology; they’re about fostering ecosystem growth, creating employment, and nurturing Indonesia’s next generation of digital talent. Xin Dajiang proudly noted Huawei Cloud’s robust Jakarta Region, already boasting three availability zones (AZs), emphasizing that AI and cloud technologies are pivotal drivers of innovation across individuals, enterprises, and governments. He concluded with a powerful sentiment: Huawei Cloud embodies the true gotong royong spirit – for Indonesia, by Indonesia.

Indonesia’s vast population and diverse industry landscapes present a unique and fertile ground for building a powerful ASEAN AI engine. Sunny Shang, President of Huawei Cloud Asia Pacific, reiterated Huawei Cloud’s unwavering dedication to continually enhancing local infrastructure and full-stack AI capabilities. This strategic investment is set to accelerate industry intelligence and cultivate a vibrant ecosystem, already thriving with over 300 partners.

The AI landscape is rapidly evolving, shifting from generative to agentic models, from public data to industry-specific insights, and from commercial to open-source innovations. Cloud data centers are at the forefront of this transformation, becoming the intelligent foundation for this new AI era.
