Jakarta \u2014 Technology giants Arm, Microsoft, Google and Amazon Web\nServices are working with Indonesia to develop the semiconductor\nindustry and digital infrastructure, including tools to improve people\u2019s\neveryday lives.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur chip designers and AI researchers can now work with Arm,\nMicrosoft, Google and Amazon Web Services in semiconductors and digital\ninfrastructure, building tools to help teachers teach, doctors diagnose\nand businesses become more productive,\u201d Higher Education, Science and\nTechnology Minister Brian Yuliarto said at the Danantara Technology\nInnovation Investment Forum 2026 in Jakarta on Monday (26 October\n2026).<\/p>\n
He also said he wanted domestic universities to be able to work with\nDanantara and industry, with higher education and science expected to\nhave a major impact on industry.<\/p>\n
The partnerships are already under way. Brian said state electricity\ncompany PLN and energy researchers had worked with organisations\nincluding CTL and Siemens on cheaper, smarter electricity grids.<\/p>\n
Some universities and the National Research and Innovation Agency\n(BRIN) are also working with Oxford Maritimes to develop more efficient\nships. \u201cWe hope all of this can build a knowledge- and technology-based\nindustry in Indonesia,\u201d Brian said.<\/p>\n
Brian also cited President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s call for international\npartners to come to Indonesia and collaborate, invest and manufacture\nproducts domestically.<\/p>\n
\u201cWork with Indonesia\u2019s outstanding talent to build industries that\nwill serve the public and be able to compete globally,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Prabowo\u2019s ambition is for Indonesia to create, master and manufacture\ntechnology. The country\u2019s development, Brian said, should be driven not\nonly by its natural resources and large market, but also by higher\nproductivity and stronger industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur natural resources and large market give us opportunities, but\nlasting prosperity depends on what our people can do with them: achieve\nhigher productivity, build stronger industries and ultimately deliver\nbetter incomes for our people,\u201d Brian said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/microsoft-and-google-join-indonesian-researchers-in-technology-projects-1793019055", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
