Prabowo Witnesses Danantara–Arm Cooperation in London for the Semiconductor Industry

​

By Zamachsyari Chawarazmi

​

President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, witnessed the signing of a framework agreement between the Danantara Indonesia Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara) and Arm Limited in London, United Kingdom, on Monday (February 23).

Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, stated that the cooperation aims to accelerate semiconductor technology development in Indonesia.

“This cooperation enables Indonesia to master semiconductor technology, and Arm is one of the companies that dominates the semiconductor market, particularly in terms of design. This is the most upstream part of the semiconductor industry itself,” Airlangga said in an official statement from the Presidential Secretariat’s Press, Media, and Information Bureau on Tuesday (February 23).



According to Airlangga, Arm controls approximately 96 percent of chip technology for the global automotive sector and nearly 94 percent of chip designs for data centers and artificial intelligence.

“With this cooperation, it is expected that Indonesia can train 15,000 of our engineers within the Arm ecosystem, so they can master chip design technology. The cooperation plan will also extend to the next generation of semiconductors or chips, so that Indonesia will have capabilities in the semiconductor and design sectors,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry / Head of BPI Danantara, Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, stated that six industries will be selected for chip development.

“There will indeed be six industries chosen for the development of these chips, and as conveyed by the Coordinating Minister, 15,000 of our engineers will be trained by Arm, either by sending them here or by having Arm’s instructors come to Indonesia with their modules,” Rosan said.

Furthermore, Airlangga explained that the six national chip design developments will focus on strategic intellectual property (IP).

“These six are IPs—intellectual property—that we can select, whether one for automotive technology, second for the Internet of Things, third related to data centers, and also possibly home appliances. The remaining two could be futuristic fields, particularly autonomous vehicles and quantum computing, among others. All of this will still be discussed with Danantara, so that the IP will be held by Indonesia,” Airlangga concluded.

Indonesia, UK-Based Arm in Talks for $200 Million Project​

Jakarta. Indonesia and the UK-based semiconductor giant Arm are in talks for a $200 million project, according to a senior minister; however, the government still wishes to keep the timeline and technical details a secret.


Sovereign wealth fund Danantara and Arm recently agreed to train 15,000 Indonesian engineers in chip design.


Chief Economic Affairs Minister Airlangga Hartarto revealed on Thursday that Arm was keen on moving to the “next phase”. Negotiations are now underway for a new “special project” that will be separate from the earlier human capital development.

“We are still negotiating [with Arm]. That’s why we can’t disclose it,” Airlangga told reporters in Jakarta.

The cooperation is worth "around $200 million”.


The Jakarta Globe asked Airlangga whether this meant Arm sought to help establish a foundry or semiconductor product manufacturing in Indonesia, something that the minister denied.


Airlangga described Arm as “the brain that mainly deals with the software side” of semiconductor production. Arm licenses its architecture to other companies for chip development. His response hinted that the upcoming cooperation would be on the design aspect.


Even so, Indonesia had just secured US business deals on foundries, Airlangga said. The economic tsar was alluding to the multi-billion-dollar deals secured by Galang Bumi Industri, which operates an eco-industrial park in the Batam island. The agreements — involving the US-based Tynergy and Essence — revolve around the semiconductor manufacturing processes. Investments related to ingot wafer, wafer slicing, and fabrication are in the pipeline.


Developing a homegrown comprehensive semiconductor ecosystem has long been on Indonesia’s wishlist.


US semiconductor firm Fairchild used to run an assembly, testing, and packaging facility in Indonesia decades ago. The company decided to relocate to close neighbor Malaysia in the 1980s following Jakarta’s ban on automation to protect labor. Indonesia at the time lacked the domestic capacity to sustain its foothold in the semiconductor industry after Fairchild’s exit, Airlangga said.

250 Indonesian Coal-Fired Power Plants Could Hold a ‘Treasure Trove’ for the World’s Future​

Firda Dwi Muliawati
11 September 2026



Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The Mineral Industry Agency (BIM) has identified the potential for a “treasure trove” of rare earth elements (REEs) contained in combustion residues from more than 250 coal-fired power plants (PLTUs) across Indonesia. The potential sources of REEs include monazite, xenotime, ion-adsorbed clay (IAC), as well as fly ash and bottom ash (FABA).

Rare earth elements are widely used as essential materials in various advanced technologies, including smartphones, electric vehicle batteries, superconductors, wind turbines, and missiles.

Yogi Wibisono Budhi, BIM Deputy for Research and Technology Development, said secondary sources generated by coal-fired power plant operations have become one of the areas of focus in mapping Indonesia’s strategic mineral resources.

“We have, for example, monazite, xenotime, and IAC in the Mamuju area. Then there is also red mud, as well as fly ash and bottom ash at a number of coal-fired power plants. We have more than 250 coal-fired power plants spread across Indonesia, and these contain various rare earth elements that present a challenge in terms of how we can utilize them,” he said at an event organized by the Indonesian Mining Experts Association (Perhapi), as quoted on Friday (September 11, 2026).

Rare earth elements can be obtained from three types of sources: primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. Utilizing mining and industrial residues is considered increasingly important as demand for minerals, including REEs, for future technologies continues to grow.

Based on International Energy Agency (IEA) data cited by BIM, mineral requirements for electric vehicles are six times higher, while mineral requirements for onshore wind power are nine times higher compared with gas-fired power generation systems.

“Going forward, the shift toward resources containing minerals that can be processed into rare earth elements will become an important strategic strength that needs to be taken into consideration,” he said.

Rare earths consist of 17 metallic elements belonging to a closely related group on the periodic table, making their separation into individual elements technically challenging. Elements such as neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy), terbium (Tb), and yttrium (Y) are needed as raw materials for permanent magnets used in electric vehicle motors and wind turbines, while scandium is used in aluminum alloys.

Indonesia is exploring ways to increase the utilization of its domestic REE potential as countries around the world are also developing these strategic resources.

“As a result, global competition has shifted from simply possessing reserves—even if those reserves are substantial—toward how these supply chains can be developed,” he explained.

Meanwhile, exporting raw materials only to import them again in the form of finished products could potentially result in thousands of trillions of rupiah in lost economic value for Indonesia due to the loss of value added.

To address this issue, BIM plans to coordinate cooperation among ministries, government agencies, the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), universities, and the mining industry to accelerate domestic research into extraction and refining technologies.

“Therefore, BIM’s role here is to bridge that gap. We want to connect research conducted by universities and research institutions such as BRIN with the actual needs of industry,” he concluded.
