EL DORADO HILLS, Calif., April 28, 2026 \/PRNewswire\/ — Blaize Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BZAI<\/a>, Nasdaq: BZAIW) (“Blaize,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), a leader in programmable, energy-efficient AI computing, today announced a three-way strategic collaboration with Nokia and PT Datacomm Diangraha to accelerate the deployment of hybrid AI inference infrastructure across Indonesia and the wider Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Building on Nokia’s and Blaize’s strategic partnership announced in January 2026, and the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Blaize and Datacomm at GITEX AI Asia 2026, the collaboration aligns each partner’s distinct strengths into a single, pre-validated technology and go-to-market stack \u2014 making enterprise and public-sector AI deployment faster, more cost-effective, and operationally reliable.<\/p>\n

\n <\/a>\n <\/p>\nIndonesia’s AI Inflection Point<\/b><\/p>\n
The AI opportunity in Indonesia is accelerating fast. Sovereign AI alone is forecast to add up to USD $140 billion to the country’s GDP by 2030, equivalent to annual economic growth of up to 6.8%, according to the Empowering Indonesia Report 2025 by Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison and Twimbit. Indonesia’s broader AI sector is expanding at a 31% CAGR, the highest rate in Southeast Asia (Marketing-Interactive, 2026).<\/p>\n
Indonesia’s technology landscape is undergoing a structural shift. Across government, telecommunications, manufacturing, and enterprise, the question is no longer whether to adopt AI \u2014 it is how to deploy it at scale, reliably and economically. Datacomm, one of Indonesia’s leading IT service providers, has seen this transformation in real time.<\/p>\n
The Hybrid Advantage:\u00a0GPU for Telco RAN, Blaize for Enterprise Edge<\/b><\/p>\n
A central principle of the Nokia-Blaize-Datacomm collaboration is that no single compute paradigm serves every AI workload \u2014 and the most effective enterprise AI architectures are hybrid ones. Nokia brings the infrastructure backbone for GPU-intensive Telco RAN workloads: training, AI-RAN acceleration, and large-scale cloud inference where GPU economics are justified. Blaize fills a distinct and equally important role \u2014 purpose-built for enterprise edge AI, where power budgets are constrained, deployments are geographically distributed, and the economics of GPU infrastructure are prohibitive.<\/p>\n
“The combination of Nokia’s validated networking infrastructure and Blaize’s energy-efficient inference compute is uniquely positioned for the enterprise edge. GPU economics simply do not scale to thousands of distributed sites \u2014 but Blaize does. This is not about replacing GPUs; it is about deploying the right compute where it delivers the most value.”
\u2014 Dinakar Munagala, CEO, Blaize<\/b><\/p>\nThree Partners, One Integrated Stack<\/b><\/p>\n
Nokia \u2014 Network Infrastructure, Telco Integration, and Innovation<\/b><\/p>\n
Nokia brings end-to-end networking capability \u2014 from optical data center interconnect to last-mile edge connectivity \u2014 combined with security, lifecycle automation, and systems integration expertise. The Nokia Innovation Lab in Singapore serves as the neutral proving ground where joint solutions with Blaize are developed, tested, and validated before deployment.<\/p>\n
“This three-way collaboration represents exactly the kind of outcome-driven partnership the market needs right now. As the trusted global provider of advanced connectivity,\u00a0Nokia’s role is to make hybrid AI deployable at scale \u2014 connecting the cloud to the far edge with a level of reliability, security, and automation that enterprise customers can build real businesses on. With Blaize on compute and Datacomm on the ground in Indonesia, we have the complete picture.”
\u2014 Dion Leung, Head of AI and Cloud, Asia Pacific, Nokia<\/b><\/p>\nBlaize \u2014 Energy-Efficient Enterprise Edge AI Compute<\/b><\/p>\n
Blaize delivers programmable, energy-efficient AI inference platforms designed for edge and hybrid cloud deployment. Where GPU infrastructure is optimized for telco-scale and cloud-native workloads, Blaize’s architecture is purpose-built for the enterprise edge \u2014 enabling organizations to deploy AI at distributed scale with a fraction of the power consumption and infrastructure cost. Blaize’s platform supports workloads including video analytics, geospatial processing, logistics optimization, and computer vision across thousands of sites simultaneously.<\/p>\n
Datacomm Diangraha \u2014 30 Years of Regional Infrastructure Expertise<\/b><\/p>\n
PT Datacomm Diangraha is one of Indonesia’s leading IT service providers, with over 30 years of experience building and managing critical digital infrastructure. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in South Jakarta, Datacomm has grown from a data communication reseller into a comprehensive technology services company with more than 450 employees, serving enterprise, telecommunications, government, and military customers. Datacomm’s end-to-end IT ecosystem covers cloud services, modern data center solutions, advanced IT security, DevOps, and network infrastructure \u2014 providing the deployment capability and customer trust that global technology partners require to operate effectively in the Indonesian market.<\/p>\n
“Our partnership with Nokia has been the backbone of our infrastructure capabilities for more than two decades. Adding Blaize to that foundation gives us something genuinely new: the ability to take AI inference to our customers at the edge \u2014 in the sectors and at the scale that Indonesia’s digital transformation actually requires. This is a strategic move, and the timing is right.”
\u2014 Tan Wie Tjin, President Director, PT. Datacomm Diangraha<\/b><\/p>\nThe three companies are committed to moving quickly \u2014 converting the MoU framework into deployed, revenue-generating infrastructure across Indonesia’s most strategically important sectors.<\/p>\n
Indonesia’s technology policy environment is also reshaping investment \u2014 89% of enterprises rank digital sovereignty as a key factor in technology decisions (EY Reimagining Industry Futures Study 2026).<\/p>\n
Indonesia is intended to serve as the reference market for broader APAC expansion. Validated deployments in the Indonesian market will provide the blueprint for adjacent markets including Vietnam, the Philippines, and the wider Southeast Asian corridor \u2014 where the same combination of surging AI inference demand, cost sensitivity, and distributed deployment requirements applies.<\/p>\n
