Indonesia's Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs signed a letter of intent with Uptime Institute on 2 November 2026, signed by Digital Infrastructure Director General Wayan Toni Supriyanto, to collaborate on developing the country's data center ecosystem. The cooperation covers policy and regulatory frameworks, global best practices and standards, operational reliability and security, energy and sustainability, and industry workforce development. A three-day workshop on data center policy and governance between government and industry accompanied the signing.
