Blaize has formalized a three-way collaboration with Nokia and PT Datacomm Diangraha to integrate their AI compute and networking assets into a single, pre-validated infrastructure stack. Building on earlier partnerships and memoranda of understanding, the collaboration leverages Nokia’s Network Innovation Lab in Singapore for reference architecture validation. This end-to-end stack combines energy-efficient inference compute, telco-grade GPU networking and regional deployment expertise to accelerate enterprise and public-sector AI projects across Indonesia.

Indonesia’s AI sector is growing at a 31% compound annual rate, and sovereign AI could add an estimated USD 140 billion to the country’s GDP by 2030. Datacomm reports a more than 50% increase in customer requests for AI inference solutions over the past six months, reflecting strong in-market demand and establishing a robust sales pipeline. Prioritization of digital sovereignty by 89% of enterprises further underscores opportunities for locally deployed AI infrastructure.

The alliance positions GPU-optimized compute for training and telecom RAN workloads alongside Blaize’s energy-efficient edge inference platform for distributed enterprise applications. Nokia provides connectivity, security and lifecycle automation, while Blaize addresses power-constrained edge sites with lower infrastructure costs. Datacomm’s local infrastructure capabilities enable rapid, cost-effective deployments, creating a scalable blueprint for broader rollout into neighboring Southeast Asian markets such as Vietnam and the Philippines.
