Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The government’s commitment to promoting the development of the digital economy as a pillar for the 8% growth target is serving as a driving force for the adoption of cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and hyperscale as the backbone of Indonesia’s economic transformation.

BDx Indonesia, a leading carrier-neutral data centre service provider, sees the trend of increasing technology adoption in Indonesia, including AI and cloud, aligning with the strengthening of digital transformation. To support the stronger development of AI data centres, BDx Indonesia is fully supported by BDx Group.
