Telkom CEO Reveals Plans to Open AI Data Centre

The rapidly developing AI technology is also changing the telecommunications industry in preparing its infrastructure. Telkom is also participating in preparing for these needs by building an AI data centre through NeutraDC.

Telkom Indonesia President Director Dian Siswarini said Telkom has priorities for the future. Besides the B2C segment, the company also has three main initiatives.

“The first is building infrastructure ready to support AI in data centres, which we are realising through the NeutraDC brand,” Dian said in the opening keynote of the Bali Annual Telkom International Conference (BATIC) 2026 in Nusa Dua, Bali, Wednesday (26/8/2026).

She explained that NeutraDC will strengthen Telkom’s position in data centre infrastructure. In addition, it will build an ecosystem that supports future-generation AI, from scalable capacity and connectivity to strategic partnerships.

The next initiative is strengthening the domestic infrastructure backbone. Telkom is not merely an infrastructure owner, but will become the party that optimises, collaborates and creates greater value from these assets.

“This is where Infranexia’s role becomes very crucial. By creating a more focused infrastructure platform, we aim to unlock value from fibre optic and network assets through the Infranexia brand,” she explained.

The third initiative is international connectivity through Telin. Dian reasoned this is because AI is increasingly spreading across countries, regions, and cloud ecosystems.

“These three things are not separate initiatives. Overall, these initiatives form one unified ambition: to transform from a connectivity provider into a digital infrastructure leader, and ultimately into an orchestrator of the AI ecosystem,” Dian said.
