The agreement encompasses the development of digital infrastructure, strengthening the data centre ecosystem, and exploration of technologies supporting digital transformation. The MoU was signed at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona on 3 March, one of the world’s largest telecommunications and technology events bringing together global industry players. The agreement was signed by Telkom’s Director of Strategic Business Development & Portfolio Seno Soemadji, NeutraDC Group Chief Executive Officer Andreuw Th.A.F., and Huawei Director Chi Kaichao.
This collaboration represents a strategic step for TelkomGroup in strengthening digital infrastructure development whilst opening opportunities for technology synergies with Huawei to support the development of an increasingly reliable and efficient data centre ecosystem.
Seno Soemadji, Telkom’s Director of Strategic Business Development & Portfolio, stated that the collaboration is part of TelkomGroup’s efforts to strengthen the foundation of reliable and globally competitive digital infrastructure. “The signing of this MoU at MWC Barcelona symbolises Telkom’s commitment to continuously transform into a world-class digital telco. The strategic collaboration with Huawei will strengthen our digital infrastructure capabilities, accelerate enterprise solution innovation, and ensure our workforce is prepared to meet Indonesia’s national digital transformation needs,” Soemadji said.
Telkom, together with NeutraDC and Huawei, will explore digital infrastructure business development, particularly in strengthening the data centre ecosystem. For Huawei’s service development requiring data centre facilities, Huawei may consider utilising NeutraDC’s data centre facilities, including opportunities for placing Huawei Cloud availability zones in accordance with agreed terms and applicable regulations.
Additionally, Huawei will share information regarding the latest data centre technology innovations, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) technologies, AI-based architecture and hardware, and solutions supporting sustainability and operational efficiency. This knowledge is expected to serve as a reference for developing NeutraDC’s infrastructure capabilities.
