Indonesia is emerging as a significant hub for artificial intelligence (AI) innovation, as demonstrated by recent developments in the country’s tech sector. East Ventures, a prominent venture capital company, has launched Indo Build AI, an AI platform designed to foster learning, building, and showcasing AI-based solutions to real-world challenges in Indonesia.

Indo Build AI aims to stimulate knowledge exchange among AI innovators through a series of key activities, culminating in their Demo Day. Co-Founder and Managing Partner of East Ventures, Willson Weather, stated that the initiative is intended to bridge the gap by providing a platform for collaboration and innovation. The platform is set to boost the formation of an AI ecosystem in Indonesia.

The Indo Build AI program will include a technical workshop featuring AI experts from AWS, Alibaba Cloud, and Google. The session will explore the application of AI in startups, AI’s generating adoption, and new technological trends.

Meanwhile, the AI boom in Indonesia is having a significant impact on the nation’s data center market. DCI Indonesia, the country’s leading data center operator, has seen its fortunes rise dramatically. The shares of the company, co-founded by billionaires Otto Toto Sugiri, Marina Budiman, and Han Arming Hanafia, increased over $2 billion in the past week.
