Nvidia is partnering with Australian AI infrastructure firm Firmus Technologies to develop Firmus’s first data centre in Indonesia, according to multiple reports. The project is described as a 360-megawatt AI data centre campus in Batam, an Indonesian island near Singapore. Sources say the facility will be built under an eight-year relationship with Nvidia and will be designed to serve AI-native customers through cloud and related computing services. One report says Firmus plans to deploy 170,000 Nvidia GPUs at the site. The development involves additional partners, with Singapore-based DayOne mentioned as part of the buildout. Bloomberg and Quartz add that Firmus expects the partnership to generate as much as $30 billion in committed offtake or revenue over the first six years, tied to agreements made with customers. The reports characterize the initiative as aimed at improving access to large-scale AI compute for emerging companies, while also expanding Nvidia’s hardware and cloud-related revenue opportunities through the arrangement.
