IDC and HPE Executive Roundtable Jakarta
Making AI Real: Building the Business Case, Infrastructure, and Use Cases for Enterprise AI in Indonesia
In Partnership With
IDC forecasts AI and GenAI spending across Asia/Pacific will reach $175 billion by 2028 — yet in 2026, IDC predicts 45% of AI-fuelled use cases in the region will fail to meet ROI targets due to unclear value definitions and weak data foundations. For Indonesian enterprise leaders, this is the defining challenge: the question is no longer whether to invest in AI but how to build a credible business case, stand up the right infrastructure, and identify the use cases that will deliver measurable returns — all within Indonesia’s distinct regulatory and market environment.
This exclusive roundtable, convened by IDC and HPE, brings together senior IT directors and C-suite leaders from across Indonesia’s key industries to move beyond the theory. In a focused, off-the-record discussion, you will work through the decisions that matter most right now – from quantifying AI value and securing leadership alignment to building sovereign, AI-ready hybrid infrastructure and defining a practical roadmap for scaling AI across your organisation. Leave with sharper clarity, stronger peer perspectives, and a concrete path forward.

AI Readiness Framework
IDC has designed an AI assessment framework to help organisations understand where they are in their AI journey.
Upon completion of the assessment, you will receive a personalised report with insights into your organisation’s current AI readiness and areas for further development.
For this assessment, AI is defined as systems that learn, reason, and self-correct. AI software frameworks and platforms refer to sets of technologies that can be used to develop applications that answer questions, hold conversations, discover insights, provide recommendations, generate media such as image, video, speech or voice, and automate tasks and processes.
