Finding the Company with the Best AI Ecosystem
Finding the Company with the Best AI Ecosystem
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia — The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is growing rapidly. Across sectors ranging from public services and manufacturing to healthcare, education and finance, AI has become one of the forces driving digital transformation.
However, successful AI development depends not only on sophisticated models or the scale of investment. Industries need an ecosystem that brings together stakeholders including businesses, universities, government, start-ups and digital talent.
Many countries are now building AI ecosystems involving a range of stakeholders to ensure that innovation does not develop in isolation. Within such ecosystems, each party can complement the others through its respective role.
Businesses turn their needs into AI solutions, the government develops regulations and policies, and start-ups bring faster innovation. Digital talent, meanwhile, is a key driver in ensuring that these technologies can be developed and used to their full potential.
To recognise companies with the best AI ecosystems, integrated economic news outlet CNBC Indonesia will hold the Road to CNBC Indonesia Award 2026 ‘Best AI Ecosystem’ on Friday, 30 October 2026, at 10.00 WIB. The award will recognise businesses that have adopted AI to strengthen public trust amid the changing dynamics of business competition.
Before the awards are presented, an exclusive discussion will examine the implementation of AI ecosystems in Indonesia. The discussion will be hosted by a CNBC Indonesia anchor and feature qualified speakers. Nezar Patria, Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs, will deliver the keynote address, alongside Said Mirza Pahlevi, Director of Artificial Intelligence and New Technology Ecosystems at the ministry.
The Road to CNBC Indonesia Award is part of the CNBC Indonesia Awards 2026, which will take place at a later date.
The awards recognise businesses and industries that have helped make a positive contribution to the country’s economic progress. As part of the programme, interviews with guests will also be broadcast each week on Profit, Power Lunch and Closing Bell.
