📋 Tender Overview
The central partners of the project are the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (Kisti) and the National Research and Innovation Authority of Indonesia (Brin Indonesia). The aim is to set up a common infrastructure for high-performance calculation (High Performance Computing, HPC) and the expansion of corresponding skills in the Asean region. In the framework of the project, a central HPC center is built in Cibinong, West-Java. The Indonesian research and innovation authority Brin provides the necessary infrastructure as well as electricity and internet supply. 10 million USD (around EUR 8.8 million) is planned for the implementation.
The project is pursuing three main goals: building an HPC infrastructure: Provision of powerful computing resources for data-based applications and artificial intelligence (AI). Development of a scientific-technological knowledge platform: promotion of access to scientific information and technologies. Training of specialists: training of 160 experts from the ASEAN countries over a period of four years. The need for HPC infrastructure is high in the region: With the exception of Thailand and Singapore, the other eight Asean countries have so far not have appropriate systems. The project aims to close this gap and strengthen the regions digital competitiveness.
Asean general secretary Dr. Kao Kim Hourn emphasized the importance of the project for the development of qualified specialists and the promotion of digital innovations in the region. Kisti President Lee Sik and Briner Chairman Dr. Laksana Tri Handoko underlined the long -term goal of creating a sustainable and inclusive research landscape in Southeast Asia.
The project is part of the Korea Asean Digital Innovation Flagship (Kadif), which covers five core areas: data ecosystems, high-performance calculation infrastructures, common digital academies, AI startup competitions and the development and use of AI solutions.
