        "content": "<p>Technology collaboration between Indonesia and strategic partners in\nthe ASEAN region continues to be strengthened to address the gap between\nthe rapid growth of the digital economy and the readiness of digital\nsecurity infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>TOTM Technologies Limited (SGX: 42F), a company focused on\ncutting-edge technology in Southeast Asia covering AI, blockchain, and\nidentity, and KORIKA, Indonesia\u2019s national AI collaboration platform,\nare specifically responding to this gap.<\/p>\n<p>TOTM announced the launch of a strategic partnership with the\nArtificial Intelligence Industry Research and Innovation Collaboration\n(KORIKA). This collaboration promotes the adoption of secure,\nresponsible, and trusted latest technologies in Indonesia and Southeast\nAsia.<\/p>\n<p>KORIKA was established under the auspices of the National Strategy\nfor Artificial Intelligence (Stranas KA) by bringing together government\ninstitutions, academia, industry, and communities in the field of AI\ninnovation and digital transformation without neglecting security\nelements.<\/p>\n<p>TOTM Technologies builds digital infrastructure that connects\nartificial intelligence (AI), quantum-safe technology, and digital\nidentity, thereby expanding the scope of national identity programmes\nand cross-border trust infrastructure in the regional area.<\/p>\n<p>This collaboration formalises the shared interest and expectation\nbetween both parties in promoting cross-border cutting-edge technology\ncollaboration, which will ultimately connect Indonesia\u2019s growing digital\neconomy to the ASEAN region.<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration covers three areas.<\/p>\n<p>First, in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), this\ncollaboration will uphold the development of safe, responsible, and\ninclusive AI, in line with KORIKA\u2019s national mandate and TOTM\u2019s focus on\nAI governance.<\/p>\n<p>Second, in terms of infrastructure, both parties will design a\nquantum-secure and identity-based blockchain system intended to\nanticipate future threats in the field of quantum computing.<\/p>\n<p>Third, in the field of trade, this collaboration will open up the\nexchange of secure and interoperable digital credentials and data across\nnational borders, still within the applicable technical and regulatory\nframeworks.<\/p>\n<p>Welcoming this collaboration, Chan Wei Jie, Group Chief Executive\nOfficer and Executive Director of TOTM Technologies, said that the\npartnership with KORIKA reflects the perspective that cross-border\ncollaboration is essential to building a more connected and trusted\ndigital economy in ASEAN countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see this collaboration as a point towards a more integrated\nSoutheast Asia, focused on the application of technology and shared\ncapabilities to achieve measurable results,\u201d he said in an official\nstatement.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Prof.\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Hammam Riza, Chairman of KORIKA, expressed\nenthusiasm for collaborating with TOTM Technologies, particularly in\nbringing a cross-border dimension that supports the goals of the ASEAN\nDigital Economy Framework Agreement (DEFA).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe this collaboration can deliver concrete impact and\ncontribute to the KORIKA Impact programme, as well as the AI Security\npillar,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>This collaboration is also believed to strengthen TOTM\u2019s presence in\nSoutheast Asia, building on the existing partnership with PILA Group in\nVietnam in cross-border digital trust infrastructure, and continuing the\ncompany\u2019s innovation to drive validated digital trade and security in\nASEAN.<\/p>",
