AI Investment in Indonesia Continues Despite Weakening Rupiah
PT Lintasarta has stated that it will continue to invest in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in Indonesia, even as the Rupiah has weakened against the US Dollar in recent times.
Armand Hermawan, President Director & CEO of Lintasarta, noted that the company has been investing in Nvidia GPUs since 2025, a component that remains a significant challenge within the AI industry. However, Hermawan admitted that Lintasarta will not undertake large-scale investments without careful calculation, as they intend to provide services specifically tailored to user demand.
“With the investments made in 2025, and since we still have capacity to offer to customers, we also remain active in sharing infrastructure if there is a need,” he said during a Media Gathering in Jakarta on Tuesday (9/6/2026).
He assessed that the phenomenon of a weak Rupiah does not necessarily mean Lintasarta’s customers will halt technology spending for business needs, though it is possible they may need to adjust the scope of their business projects. Hermawan ensured that AI-based technology investments will proceed in alignment with customer, industry, and regulatory requirements.
“We will conduct investments carefully, relating to the needs of customers, industry, and regulations,” Herma/man explained.
To meet the needs of customers in Indonesia, Lintasarta has introduced its ‘Intelligent Core’ service. This serves as a strategic foundation that integrates Lintasarta’s four main capabilities—Connectivity, Cloud, Cybersecurity, and Collaboration-AI (known as the 4C capability)—into a single end-to-end digital solution designed to significantly enhance Customer Experience (CX).
Hermawan mentioned that this foundation is built upon three core principles: Sovereign, through sovereign infrastructure and sovereign AI; Integrated, through a single end-to-end solution unifying the 4Cs; and Seamless Experience, providing an integrated, reliable, and efficient digital experience for customers.
“In the AI era, companies require a foundation capable of connecting technology to tangible business results. Through Intelligent Core, we help customers integrate digital infrastructure and AI into a single secure, reliable, and interconnected Digital Solution, allowing customers to focus more on innovation, growth, and business competitiveness,” he stated.
Lintasarta offers various industry-specific solutions, including the Secure Banking Stack for the financial sector, the Sovereign Government Stack for the government sector, the Smart Factory Stack for manufacturing, Connected Healthcare for healthcare services, and Omnichannel Retail for the retail sector.
Each solution is designed to help organisations accelerate digital and AI transformation, improve operational efficiency, strengthen reliability and security, and create sustainable business value.
Currently, Lintasarta serves over 2,300 corporate customers with 74,196 networks across various industrial sectors throughout Indonesia, providing a foundation that makes the integration of the 4Cs into a single digital architecture a tangible advantage rather than just a concept.
