Bali, August 26, 2025 — PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Internasional (Telin), a subsidiary of PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (Telkom), is once again hosting the 10th edition of the Bali Annual Telkom International Conference (BATIC) at The Westin Resort, Nusa Dua, Bali. BATIC 2025 brings together global leaders in telecommunications and the digital ecosystem to collaborate, forge partnerships, and set the course for the future of connectivity in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
Since its inception, BATIC has evolved from a regional gathering into the anchor event for digital and telco collaboration in APAC, attracting participants from over 50 countries. Over the last decade, the event has seen more than fivefold growth in participation, transforming into a vibrant marketplace for strategic alliances, technology partnerships, and cross-border ventures.
This year’s theme, “Igniting Tomorrow’s Digital Evolution – Change the Way You Connect, Power the Digital Shift”, reflects BATIC’s role in driving innovation and shaping industry direction. The two-day conference will be centered around Day 1: Laying the Digital Foundation and Day 2: Unveiling Technology in Shaping Today’s World, offering participants deep insights into subsea infrastructure, edge computing, AI-driven traffic management, and emerging technologies critical to the future of the industry.
Dian Siswarini, President Director of Telkom Indonesia emphasized the significance of BATIC as a collaborative forum for the global digital telco industry.
“Telkom Group will continue to ensure that Indonesia is placed at the forefront of the global telecommunications agenda. We aim to elevate Indonesia’s position on the international stage by driving the regional digital ecosystem. To achieve this, we are committed to anticipating every transformation, both in technology and customer needs through precise solutions in collaboration with domestic and international partners,” said Dian at the BATIC press conference held on Tuesday (August 26).
Aligned with this, Telkom’s Director of Wholesale & International Services, Honesti Basyir, highlighted the importance of strategic collaboration in the digital transformation era. According to Honesti, BATIC provides a real platform for building partnerships and strengthening the industry ecosystem.
“BATIC reinforces Telkom’s transformation journey, affirming that we are not only a domestic player but also a regional and global force. By bringing together a comprehensive digital ecosystem, including hyperscalers, startups, and governments, we aim to foster healthy collaboration. From sharing ideas and forging business deals to tackling technological challenges together, this initiative not only benefits Telin but also strengthens the foundation of the digital economy, not just in Indonesia but across the region,” Honesti explained.
From Telin’s perspective as organizer, CEO Budi Satria Dharma Purba underscored the global relevance of BATIC as a digital ecosystem platform.
“BATIC is where strategic connections are built, a trusted regional platform for digital ecosystem collaboration where innovation and business meet. From subsea infrastructure and distributed data centers to AI-driven traffic management, we facilitate the most crucial discussions shaping the future of telecommunications. In its 10th edition, BATIC has grown fivefold, reflecting the credibility and global relevance of our platform,” Budi stated.
In addition to the conference, BATIC 2025 also features exhibitions from leading technology and telecommunications companies, executive-level forums, and curated networking experiences designed to enhance collaboration. Participants can also enjoy various social and cultural activities showcasing the rich heritage of Bali.
