How Telkom is Building a Blueprint for Digital Sovereignty
PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (Telkom) organised the National Digital Sovereignty Forum, titled “Digital Ecosystem Collaboration for Sovereign National Innovation,” at the Telkom Landmark Tower, Jakarta, on Wednesday (3/6). The forum brought together regulators, strategic State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), enterprise customers, and global technology partners to strengthen collaboration in building a secure, resilient, and sovereign foundation for cloud, artificial intelligence (AI), and cybersecurity.
The National Digital Sovereignty Forum serves as a follow-up to the “Rise of Indonesia’s Technological Sovereignty” declaration held on 20 May 2026. While the previous declaration emphasised a shared vision regarding the importance of national technological sovereignty, this forum acts as a concrete step to translate that vision into a measurable blueprint and implementation roadmap through three main pillars: Sovereign Cloud, Sovereign AI, and Sovereign Cybersecurity.
The presence of the Ministry of Communication and Digital underscores the importance of synergy between regulators and industry players in building a national digital foundation capable of supporting digital economic growth while safeguarding Indonesia’s strategic interests in the era of digital transformation. The forum also provides a collaborative space across ecosystems to align the development of cloud, AI, and cybersecurity with national requirements.
Sonny Hendra Sudaryana, Director of Digital Ecosystem Development at the Ministry of Communication and Digital, emphasised the importance of synergy between regulators, industry, and technology providers to ensure that national digital transformation is secure, inclusive, and sustainable.
“Strengthening sovereign cloud, AI, and cybersecurity is a vital step in protecting national data security, increasing trust in Indonesia’s digital ecosystem, and ensuring that national digital transformation can proceed securely, inclusively, and sustainably,” stated Sonny, as quoted on Friday (5/6/2026).
Telkom’s Director of Strategic Business Development and Portfolio, Seno Soemadji, asserted that digital sovereignty has become a national strategic necessity requiring cross-sector and cross-ecosystem synergy.
“Digital sovereignty is no longer just a technological issue, but the foundation of our nation’s competitiveness, resilience, and future sustainability. Indonesia must be able to establish control over its own data, AI, cloud, and cybersecurity so that it does not merely become a digital market, but also becomes the architect of its own digital future,” said Senerm.
Seno added that through the TLKM 30 transformation, Telkom continues to strengthen its role not only as a connectivity provider but also as a service enabler to build a more resilient, secure, and independent national digital foundation.
The forum highlighted three primary focuses serving as the foundation for Indonesia’s digital sovereignty: Sovereign Cloud, Sovereign AI, and Sovereign Cybersecurity. These three pillars provide a collaborative framework to ensure Indonesia possesses the computing capacity, AI capabilities, and digital security systems that can be developed sustainably within the country.
As part of the forum, Telkom also strengthened its AdyaCakra initiative, a sovereign digital stack that integrates national capabilities with the best global technologies to support the needs of the government, SOEs, and strategic industrial sectors. AdyaCakra encompasses Sovereign Cloud capabilities through NeuCentrIX, NeutraDC Hyperscale, and edge infrastructure; Sovereign AI through AI Hub and Agentic AI BigBox; and Sovereign Cybersecurity through Telkom CSOC, sovereign threat intelligence, and managed detection & response.
On the same occasion, eight global technology partners participated in strategic discussions and the signing of an Intentional Collaboration, representing a shared commitment to supporting the development of a secure, resilient, and sovereign digital ecosystem. This collaboration is expected to accelerate the development of national capabilities, knowledge transfer, and technology adoption that provides added value to Indonesia.
Through the National Digital Sovereancy Forum, Telkom is encouraging the formation of a more concrete blueprint and collaboration roadmap between the government, regulators, SOEs, industry players, and global technology partners.
“This initiative is part of Telkom’s efforts to strengthen the national cloud, AI, and cybersecurity foundations to support the realisation of Indonesia’s digital sovereignty and the achievement of the Indonesia Digital Vision 2030 and the TLKM 30 transformation agenda,” he concluded.
