Digital Edge Jakarta H1: $4.5B AI-Centric Megacampus
Status: Under Construction (Groundbroken Q2 2026) | Location: Cikarang Digital Zone, Greater Jakarta, Indonesia
Project Overview
A $4.5 billion hyperscale data center development in Indonesia, the project is designed to become the country's largest AI-ready digital infrastructure campus and a major computing hub for Southeast Asia. Strategically located in the Cikarang industrial corridor, the multi-building campus is purpose-built to support the rapidly growing demand for generative artificial intelligence (AI), large language models (LLMs), cloud computing, and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. The development is expected to attract leading global hyperscalers, AI companies, and domestic cloud providers by offering scalable, high-density infrastructure capable of supporting next-generation GPU clusters. The campus incorporates advanced liquid cooling technologies, intelligent power management systems, and ultra-dense rack configurations to efficiently handle increasingly power-intensive AI applications. Its modular design allows phased expansion while maintaining high levels of operational resilience and energy efficiency. Located within one of Indonesia's most developed industrial zones, the facility benefits from reliable utility infrastructure, extensive fiber connectivity, skilled technical talent, and convenient access to major transportation and logistics networks. The project is expected to strengthen Indonesia's digital economy by creating thousands of construction and technology-related jobs while encouraging further investment in AI, cloud services, and digital innovation. Once operational, the campus will play a pivotal role in supporting regional digital transformation, positioning Indonesia as a leading destination for hyperscale data centers and advanced AI infrastructure across the Asia-Pacific region.
