Deputy for Information Technology for Investment at the Ministry of Investment and Downstream/Investment Coordinating Board Ricky Kusmayadi said that the government is focusing on building a data center in Batam City, Riau Islands Province.
Ricky said that Batam City was chosen as the focus for data center development, among other things, because of its strategic geographical position.
"The government has prepared a focus for the data center in the Batam area because it is close to the outside area, in this case Singapore," he said.
He said that the selection of Batam as the focus location for data center development was part of an effort to equalize investment distribution.
"So, the hope is that it will not only be in Java or Jakarta, and that it can provide a spread of investment growth outside Java," he said.
