JAKARTA, Sept. 17, 2024 - Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (Indosat or IOH) Group, through its subsidiary Lintasarta, has partnered with Accenture (NYSE: ACN) in a strategic collaboration to accelerate its sovereign AI cloud platform, aimed at propelling AI-driven digital transformation in Indonesia. This initiative uses the Accenture AI Refinery™ platform to help Indonesian enterprises build cutting-edge AI solutions, tailored for various industry sectors, while ensuring sovereign data governance.

The collaboration will initially focus on AI solutions for Indonesia's financial services sector, one of the key pillars of the country's economy. Powered by the AI Refinery platform, Accenture will provide pre-built solutions that can significantly reduce time to value, with a modular architecture to meet client needs wherever they are in their AI journey.

This collaboration with Accenture and Lintasarta brings us closer to achieving that goal, as we combine global expertise with local market insights. Together, we are building the infrastructure that will allow businesses across Indonesia to leverage the transformative power of AI, driving growth, innovation, and a stronger digital economy."

Senthil Ramani, senior managing director and global Data & AI lead at Accenture said, "With Accenture AI Refinery, we are supporting Indosat and Lintasarta's efforts to help Indonesian enterprises unlock unprecedented value from AI, while adhering to local and industry regulations and ensuring that sensitive data remains within national borders. This is a significant step forward in the journey toward AI sovereignty and together, we will help Indonesian enterprises across industries redefine their future in the age of AI-driven reinvention."

This collaboration underscores Indosat's larger purpose of empowering Indonesia, contributing to the nation's digital transformation and technological sovereignty. By developing the country's first sovereign AI platform, Lintasarta and Accenture are working to unlock the potential of AI while upholding the critical tenets of data security, sovereignty, and innovation.

The Accenture AI Refinery, part of Accenture's foundation model services, represents a groundbreaking step in the use of generative AI for enterprises. It empowers organizations to convert AI technologies and tools into scaled, enterprise AI systems that reflect their unique business needs.
