Microsoft has announced that the company will be investing US$1.7 billion over the next four years in new cloud and AI infrastructure in Indonesia.

The company will have AI skilling opportunities for 840,000 people and support for the nation’s growing developer community.

Microsoft has announced a broader commitment to provide AI skilling opportunities for 2.5 million people in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states by 2025.

This training and support will be delivered in partnership with governments, nonprofit and corporate organizations, and communities in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. 

Microsoft’s skilling commitment is expected to benefit 840,000 people in Indonesia by providing: 

  • Students with technical and vocational education and training in AI skills through the AI TEACH for Indonesia program.
  • Women with opportunities and support to build careers in cybersecurity via the new Ready4AI&Security program.
  • Young people with AI fluency training to enhance the employability and work readiness of those from underserved and underrepresented communities.
  • employees of nonprofit organizations with knowledge of, and skills in, AI and digital technologies. 

Dharma Simorangkir, President Director of Microsoft Indonesia, said: “We aim to empower Indonesians with the infrastructure and skills needed for the AI era, aligning with our national vision for digital prowess. It’s a crucial step towards making Indonesia a hub for digital talent and innovation.”  

Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft said “The investments we are announcing today – spanning digital infrastructure, skilling, and support for developers – will help Indonesia thrive in this new era.”

In February, the company announced a significant skilling initiative in India, aiming to equip 2 million people with AI skills by 2025.

The ADVANTA(I)GE INDIA initiative is part of Microsoft’s Skills for Jobs program, which is designed to empower India’s workforce with future-ready skills.

The initiative is part of Microsoft’s broader commitment to accelerate India’s AI transformation. The skilling initiative is aligned with the company’s responsible AI principles, and training will be delivered in partnership with governments, nonprofit and corporate organizations, and communities.
