Indonesia to Build Asia's First Quantum AI Data Centre with USD 400 Million Investment in Batam
Indonesia is consolidating its position as a hub for advanced computing based on artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum technology — the first of its kind in Asia — through the construction of a Quantum AI Data Centre. The strategic project is projected to position Indonesia as a leader in the future digital ecosystem, with initial investment valued at USD 400 million, equivalent to Rp 6 trillion.
The project is being directly facilitated by the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industries/BKPM. The construction partnership was marked by the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Silicon Valley-based technology firm Worldvuer iByond Limited and Tunas Prima Industrial Estate, which took place on Wednesday (9 July 2025) in Jakarta.
The signing was witnessed by Deputy Minister of Investment and Downstream Industries/Deputy Head of BKPM, Todotua Pasaribu, and attended by Her Highness Princess Anne Shek, Chairman of the Advisory Board for Asia at Worldvuer iByond Limited.
"This step is in line with President Prabowo's directive targeting national economic growth of 8 per cent towards Golden Indonesia 2045. The digital economy, particularly the data centre sector, is one of the main pillars for achieving this," said Todotua in an official statement on Friday (11 July).
Built in Batam's Green Industrial Zone
The Quantum AI Data Centre will be located at Tunas Prima Industrial Estate, Batam, Riau Islands — a green industrial zone that has adopted sustainable technologies such as solar panels and water recycling systems. The strategic zone has previously attracted global investors such as Apple, which uses the facility for iPhone and AirTags production.
Worldvuer iByond Limited is known as the developer of the Vovea iByond operating system, which integrates quantum computing, AI, and big data analytics technologies, enabling computational processes far faster and more efficient than conventional data centres. Having achieved success in Silicon Valley and the Middle East, Indonesia becomes the first Asian country to adopt this technology.
Cross-Sector Collaboration Potential
Beyond building a data centre, Worldvuer iByond is also opening partnership opportunities in the energy sector, replicating their collaboration model with Aramco in Saudi Arabia. They are also exploring synergies with Telkom Group and the Ministry of Communications and Digital Affairs in the telecommunications sector.
"We have simplified regulations through the Job Creation Law and the OSS system, and provide various fiscal incentives, ranging from tax holidays, super tax deductions for R&D and human resource development, to import duty exemptions for machinery and equipment," Todotua added.
As a next step, Worldvuer iByond will submit a formal incentive proposal and supporting documents to BKPM. The company is also opening the door to collaboration with the education and mining sectors, including the development of a gold-based microchip supply chain.
With the realisation of this project, Indonesia will not only strengthen its strategic position in the global digital economy landscape but also drive the creation of an inclusive, sustainable, and future-oriented technology ecosystem.
