Nusa Dua, Bali, August 25, 2026 – Telin as the international business arm of PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (Telkom), is once again hosting the Bali Annual Telkom International Conference (BATIC) 2026 from August 24–28, 2026, at the Bali International Convention Center (BICC), The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali. Now in its 11th year, BATIC 2026 carries the theme “Uniting Ecosystem to Drive Connected Progress”, bringing together more than 2,700 delegates from 760 companies across over 67 countries to explore developments in artificial intelligence (AI), global connectivity, cloud, and digital infrastructure, while unlocking opportunities for cross-industry collaboration on a global scale.

As the digital industry landscape continues to evolve, BATIC has grown beyond a traditional telecommunications industry forum. The conference has become a strategic platform bringing together regulators, telecommunications operators, technology providers, hyperscalers, investors, and digital industry players from around the world to exchange insights, strengthen partnerships, and help shape the foundations of digital transformation across the Asia-Pacific region.

Speaking during the BATIC 2026 Press Conference, Dian Siswarini, President Director of Telkom Indonesia, emphasized that collaboration will be the defining factor in building a resilient digital future.

“TelkomGroup has a strategic role in strengthening Indonesia’s position as one of the digital economy growth centers in the Asia Pacific. BATIC is a flagship event for TelkomGroup and continues to grow each year with themes that remain relevant to the industry. Amid the rapid growth of AI and digital investment across the Asia Pacific, Indonesia holds tremendous potential as one of the region’s most promising digital markets. This potential must be realized through stronger infrastructure, innovation, and a robust digital ecosystem. BATIC 2026 serves as a platform for collaboration to collectively build this ecosystem and create greater value—not only for Indonesia, but also for the region and the world,” said Dian.

Meanwhile, Telkom Director of Wholesale & International Service Budi Satria Dharma Purba highlighted the strategic role of international connectivity infrastructure, particularly submarine cables, in anticipating the surge in bandwidth demand driven by the growing adoption of AI and the expansion of data centers. He noted that BATIC provides an opportunity for TelkomGroup and its delegates to expand business networks, connect industry needs with existing capabilities, and foster new innovations that address the industry’s evolving demands.

“By strengthening submarine cable infrastructure and expanding cross-border connectivity, TelkomGroup is committed to building the digital foundation of the future. Telin is strengthening its position as a regional and global digital infrastructure player, particularly through its rapidly growing international submarine cable business. Through BATIC, we hope global players participating in the event will gain greater confidence in TelkomGroup as the right partner for digital development and broad-based collaboration, particularly across the region. The event also reflects Telkom’s commitment to strengthening its focus on the B2B segment, with Telin serving as Telkom’s extension in developing the B2B business and providing services to international customers,” Budi added.

One of this year’s key additions is IgnitePRO, an executive conference focused on enterprise transformation in the era of Autonomous AI. Under the theme “The Enabled Enterprise,” IgnitePRO 2026 brings together business and technology leaders to explore AI adoption, cloud, cybersecurity, governance, and digital infrastructure as key enablers of enterprise-scale transformation. Alongside BATIC’s main conference agenda covering subsea connectivity, AI-driven communications, cloud innovation, and digital ecosystem development, ignitePRO aims to foster collaboration and accelerate digital transformation across the region.

Chief Executive Officer of Telin, Abdul Rahman Ansyori, said that BATIC’s 11th edition reflects Telin’s continued commitment to providing an evolving international platform for collaboration in response to the rapidly changing digital industry landscape.

“BATIC continues to evolve into one of the region’s most influential collaboration platforms, both in terms of its execution and the themes and ecosystems it brings together. This year, with the introduction of ignitePRO, we aim to address the enterprise sector’s growing need to adopt Autonomous AI and trusted digital systems (trust & security). We are confident that BATIC 2026 will drive collaboration, unlock new business opportunities, and deliver tangible value to players across the digital ecosystem,” Ansyori explained.

He added that the introduction of IgnitePRO, growing participation from global industry players, and broader cross-ecosystem collaboration reflect BATIC’s evolution into a platform that goes beyond strategic discussions to facilitate concrete agreements and partnerships that can create sustainable value for the national and global telecommunications industry. This year, BATIC generated more than 4,200 business meetings, demonstrating the increasingly strong quality of engagement fostered by the event.

Held in one of the fastest-growing digital economies in the Asia-Pacific region, BATIC 2026 reinforces Indonesia’s growing role as a meeting point for the global digital ecosystem.
