Lintaarta has officially launched the Universal AI program, an AI-based startup acceleration initiative that is a concrete step in strengthening Indonesia's national artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem.

The cooperation program with NVIDIA through its Inception program for startups is expected to encourage national technology independence, especially through empowering startups and developing local AI solutions that are ready for real use.

Semesta AI is designed as a real platform to foster and collaborate with local innovators. Our goal is not only to accelerate the development of AI technology, but also to encourage sustainable impacts on Indonesia's digital economy," said Bayu Hanantisena, President Director & CEO of Lintasarta at the Kick Off program of the Universe AI on Thursday, July 24 in Jakarta.

Deputy Minister of Creative Economy/Deputy Head of the Indonesian Creative Economy Agency, Irene Umar, said that her support for the Universe AI initiative is in line with the government's vision of building a sovereign and inclusive digital technology ecosystem to strengthen the national creative economy sector.

"The launch of the AI 2025 Universe is not just a platform for startups, but an important milestone in building cross-sectoral collaboration in order to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence in Indonesia," said Irene.

This strategic collaboration with NVIDIA will provide various benefits for selected start-ups, including direct assistance from AI industry and professional experts, access to the latest NVIDIA acceleration computing technology, technical training and support for the development of AI solutions, as well as collaboration opportunities with leading companies.

"We believe that Indonesia's AI talent potential is very large. Through the Universe AI, we want to take a real leap to prepare Indonesia's digital ecosystem to be able to compete at the global level," concluded Bayu.
