Indonesia to Host Asia's First Quantum AI Data Centre with US$400 Million Investment
Jakarta - Indonesia is set to become a cutting-edge computing hub based on artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum technology in Asia through the investment in Asia's first Quantum AI Data Centre. The initial phase of the project, facilitated by the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), will absorb US$400 million in investment, equivalent to approximately Rp6 trillion.
"This is in line with President Prabowo's directive targeting 8 per cent economic growth towards Golden Indonesia 2045. The digital economy, particularly data centres, is a key pillar for achieving this," said Deputy Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Deputy Head of BKPM, Todotua Pasaribu, in a written statement on Monday (14/7/2025).
"Indonesia has extraordinary potential in this sector, and we are ready to be a key partner in building Asia's digital future," he added.
The investment plan was revealed during the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement between Worldvuer iByond Limited, a Silicon Valley-based technology company, and Tunas Prima Industrial Estate, held in Jakarta on 9 July. The signing was witnessed by Todotua and attended by Chairman of the Advisory Board for Asia at Worldvuer iByond Limited, Her Highness Princess Anne Shek.
The data centre will be built in the Tunas Prima area, a green industrial estate located in Batam, Riau Islands, which has implemented renewable energy-based infrastructure such as solar panels and independent water treatment facilities. The estate has previously attracted investment from global manufacturers including Apple for iPhone and AirTags production.
Worldvuer iByond Limited is the developer of the Vovea iByond Operating System, a system that combines various types of advanced computing technology — including quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics — to deliver speed and processing capacity far exceeding conventional data centres. Indonesia will be the first base for this technology in Asia, having previously been developed in Silicon Valley and the Middle East.
In addition to building the data centre, Worldvuer iByond Limited is also exploring potential cooperation in the energy sector through an approach similar to their collaboration with Aramco in Saudi Arabia, as well as exploring telecommunications technology with Telkom Group and the Ministry of Communications and Digital.
"Through the Job Creation Law and the OSS system, we have simplified regulations. We also provide various fiscal incentives such as tax holidays, super tax deductions for research and human resource development, and import duty exemptions for equipment," said Todotua.
"This is a form of our commitment to supporting quality investments like this project," he added.
As a follow-up step, Worldvuer iByond Limited will submit a formal incentive proposal and supporting documents to the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM, and open the door to broader collaboration with the education and mining sectors — particularly in developing gold-based microchip supply chains.
