Tencent Cloud announced it will build a third data center in Indonesia to strengthen its business presence in the country. This initiative is part of its plan to invest approximately USD 500 million in infrastructure and resources in Indonesia by 2030.
In November 2024, the news was announced at the Indonesia-China Business Forum, which was also attended by President Prabowo. Tencent's Senior Executive Vice President and CEO of Cloud and Smart Industries Group stated that Tencent is committed to empowering local enterprises to drive innovation, enhance competitiveness, and achieve business goals through advanced cloud, artificial intelligence, and media solutions. Tencent Cloud is the cloud computing service division under Tencent, one of China's largest technology companies, offering a variety of cloud-based solutions including data storage, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, cybersecurity, and cloud gaming services. The new data center will complement existing facilities and integrate with Tencent Cloud's network of over 50 availability zones across 21 regions globally. Additionally, Tencent Cloud has partnered with GoTo Group, a major Indonesian digital ecosystem, to strengthen cloud infrastructure and cultivate local digital talent, ensuring GoTo's data is stored domestically. In recent years, Indonesia has become a prime destination for global technology companies to build data centers, driven by rapid digital economy growth, increased use of cloud services, and government regulations requiring specific data to be stored domestically. Tech giants like Google have also invested in building data centers in Indonesia, which not only enhance digital infrastructure but also open new opportunities in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and startup ecosystems. Supported by government policies, the investment trend in Indonesia's data center sector is expected to continue growing.
