PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (Telkom) organised the National\nDigital Sovereignty Forum, titled \u201cDigital Ecosystem Collaboration for\nSovereign National Innovation,\u201d at the Telkom Landmark Tower, Jakarta,\non Wednesday (3\/6). The forum brought together regulators, strategic\nState-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), enterprise customers, and global\ntechnology partners to strengthen collaboration in building a secure,\nresilient, and sovereign foundation for cloud, artificial intelligence\n(AI), and cybersecurity.<\/p>\n
The National Digital Sovereignty Forum serves as a follow-up to the\n\u201cRise of Indonesia\u2019s Technological Sovereignty\u201d declaration held on 20\nMay 2026. While the previous declaration emphasised a shared vision\nregarding the importance of national technological sovereignty, this\nforum acts as a concrete step to translate that vision into a measurable\nblueprint and implementation roadmap through three main pillars:\nSovereign Cloud, Sovereign AI, and Sovereign Cybersecurity.<\/p>\n
The presence of the Ministry of Communication and Digital underscores\nthe importance of synergy between regulators and industry players in\nbuilding a national digital foundation capable of supporting digital\neconomic growth while safeguarding Indonesia\u2019s strategic interests in\nthe era of digital transformation. The forum also provides a\ncollaborative space across ecosystems to align the development of cloud,\nAI, and cybersecurity with national requirements.<\/p>\n
Sonny Hendra Sudaryana, Director of Digital Ecosystem Development at\nthe Ministry of Communication and Digital, emphasised the importance of\nsynergy between regulators, industry, and technology providers to ensure\nthat national digital transformation is secure, inclusive, and\nsustainable.<\/p>\n
\u201cStrengthening sovereign cloud, AI, and cybersecurity is a vital step\nin protecting national data security, increasing trust in Indonesia\u2019s\ndigital ecosystem, and ensuring that national digital transformation can\nproceed securely, inclusively, and sustainably,\u201d stated Sonny, as quoted\non Friday (5\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n
Telkom\u2019s Director of Strategic Business Development and Portfolio,\nSeno Soemadji, asserted that digital sovereignty has become a national\nstrategic necessity requiring cross-sector and cross-ecosystem\nsynergy.<\/p>\n
\u201cDigital sovereignty is no longer just a technological issue, but the\nfoundation of our nation\u2019s competitiveness, resilience, and future\nsustainability. Indonesia must be able to establish control over its own\ndata, AI, cloud, and cybersecurity so that it does not merely become a\ndigital market, but also becomes the architect of its own digital\nfuture,\u201d said Senerm.<\/p>\n
Seno added that through the TLKM 30 transformation, Telkom continues\nto strengthen its role not only as a connectivity provider but also as a\nservice enabler to build a more resilient, secure, and independent\nnational digital foundation.<\/p>\n
The forum highlighted three primary focuses serving as the foundation\nfor Indonesia\u2019s digital sovereignty: Sovereign Cloud, Sovereign AI, and\nSovereign Cybersecurity. These three pillars provide a collaborative\nframework to ensure Indonesia possesses the computing capacity, AI\ncapabilities, and digital security systems that can be developed\nsustainably within the country.<\/p>\n
As part of the forum, Telkom also strengthened its AdyaCakra\ninitiative, a sovereign digital stack that integrates national\ncapabilities with the best global technologies to support the needs of\nthe government, SOEs, and strategic industrial sectors. AdyaCakra\nencompasses Sovereign Cloud capabilities through NeuCentrIX, NeutraDC\nHyperscale, and edge infrastructure; Sovereign AI through AI Hub and\nAgentic AI BigBox; and Sovereign Cybersecurity through Telkom CSOC,\nsovereign threat intelligence, and managed detection & response.<\/p>\n
On the same occasion, eight global technology partners participated\nin strategic discussions and the signing of an Intentional\nCollaboration, representing a shared commitment to supporting the\ndevelopment of a secure, resilient, and sovereign digital ecosystem.\nThis collaboration is expected to accelerate the development of national\ncapabilities, knowledge transfer, and technology adoption that provides\nadded value to Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Through the National Digital Sovereancy Forum, Telkom is encouraging\nthe formation of a more concrete blueprint and collaboration roadmap\nbetween the government, regulators, SOEs, industry players, and global\ntechnology partners.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis initiative is part of Telkom\u2019s efforts to strengthen the\nnational cloud, AI, and cybersecurity foundations to support the\nrealisation of Indonesia\u2019s digital sovereignty and the achievement of\nthe Indonesia Digital Vision 2030 and the TLKM 30 transformation\nagenda,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/how-telkom-is-building-a-blueprint-for-digital-sovereignty-1780656782", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
