Indonesia is fast-tracking its semiconductor and AI industries to claim a leading position in the digital economy. Spearheaded by the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, the government has launched a national task force, initiated collaborations with global universities, and focused on building a skilled tech workforce to support this transformation.
Strategic zones like Batam and Nongsa are being equipped with infrastructure for chip assembly, data centers, and AI innovation hubs. The initiative aligns with Indonesia’s ambition to become ASEAN’s largest digital economy by 2025, targeting a digital market size of $150B—expected to quadruple by 2030.
At the heart of the plan is a bold vision: transform Indonesia from a digital consumer to a regional tech powerhouse. With coordinated policies, academic alliances, and investment incentives, the country is laying the groundwork for long-term dominance in the semiconductor and AI sectors.
