Technology Alliance Targets Indonesia’s Growing AI Inference Market, with an Initial Focus on Physical AI, Public Safety, Surveillance, and Industrial AI Applications

EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. and JAKARTA, Indonesia, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Blaize Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BZAI, Nasdaq: BZAIW) (“Blaize,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), a global leader in programmable, energy efficient AI computing, and PT Datacomm Diangraha (“Datacomm”), one of Indonesia’s leading IT service providers and cloud infrastructure specialists, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishing a technology alliance to explore the potential of AI inference solutions across Indonesia.

The MOU was signed during a ceremony at Gitex Asia 2026 in Singapore, marking a meaningful step in both companies’ shared commitment to advancing practical AI capabilities across the Indonesian market.

Indonesia: A Strategic AI Market

Indonesia is one of the fastest-growing AI markets in Asia Pacific, with global hyperscalers, sovereign infrastructure programs, and enterprise technology providers all accelerating their presence in the country. According to the Empowering Indonesia Report 2025 by Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison and research firm Twimbit, sovereign AI could contribute up to USD $140 billion to Indonesia’s GDP by 2030, driving annual economic growth of up to 6.8%. Indonesia’s AI sector is expanding at a 31% CAGR, the fastest rate in Southeast Asia (Marketing-Interactive, 2026). Blaize and Datacomm are positioning this technology alliance to serve that growing demand, with an initial focus on physical AI, public safety, surveillance, industrial AI, and logistics.

Areas of Exploration

Under the MOU, Blaize and Datacomm intend to explore the following areas of cooperation:

AI Inference as a Service on DCloud: Exploring integration of Blaize’s Hybrid AI platform with Datacomm’s DCloud public cloud platform and datacenter infrastructure to enable scalable inference services for enterprise customers across Indonesia.Physical AI, Public Safety, Surveillance, and Logistics: Exploring AI inference use cases spanning physical security, video analytics, smart surveillance, and logistics optimization across Indonesia’s enterprise and public sector.Industrial AI: Jointly exploring AI inference applications for industrial automation, including computer vision and sensor-driven intelligence for Indonesia’s industrial sector.

“Asia Pacific is at an inflection point for AI inference, and Indonesia stands out as one of the region’s most significant contributors to that growth,” said Dinakar Munagala, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Blaize. “Datacomm brings exactly the trusted, deeply embedded infrastructure presence and enterprise relationships this market requires. Together, we are exploring how Blaize’s programmable, energy-efficient AI platform can unlock real-world value across public safety, smart infrastructure, physical AI, and logistics throughout Indonesia. This alliance is a strong foundation, and we intend to build on it.”

“At Datacomm, we have spent over three decades earning the trust of Indonesia’s enterprises, government institutions, and critical infrastructure operators,” said Tan Wie Tjin, President Director and Founder of PT Datacomm Diangraha. “Indonesia is on the cusp of a significant AI transformation, and the demand for intelligent, scalable, and secure inference solutions is accelerating across every sector we serve. This alliance with Blaize is a natural and exciting step in our journey toward the AI era. The combination of Datacomm’s cloud and datacenter infrastructure with Blaize’s world-class AI inference platform positions us uniquely to serve this demand. I look forward to exploring the possibilities this technology alliance will unlock for our customers and for Indonesia’s digital future.”

The MOU is non-binding and outlines a cooperative technology framework under which the parties may pursue specific projects through future definitive agreements. The alliance will prioritize enabling secure, scalable, and energy-efficient AI inference solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing cloud, datacenter, and physical environments across Indonesia.

SYDNEY, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Despite a three-month lull in crypto market volatility, 46% of Axi’s client base now holds crypto as part of their broader portfolio. The adoption spans the broker’s full digital asset product range — including perpetual contracts, CFDs, and direct crypto ownership through Axi’s Buy Crypto feature — pointing to a structural shift in how retail traders are approaching digital assets.

The figure highlights a broader shift away from purely speculative crypto trading toward ownership-based participation, as traders seek simpler entry points into digital assets.

While crypto derivatives remain popular, Axi says the new feature is onboarding a growing number of first-time crypto users by enabling clients to buy and hold digital assets without leverage directly within its trading platform.

Early usage data indicates that many traders are integrating crypto into portfolios for the first time, using digital assets as diversification tools and longer-term positions rather than short-term trades alone.

Stuart Cooke, Head of New Business at Axi, said the figures point to a fundamental shift in how traders are approaching crypto: “Demand for straightforward crypto ownership is growing — but what’s equally telling is how fluidly clients move between product types as conditions change. As volatility fluctuates, we see the same underlying asset being traded in completely different ways — perpetual contracts, CFDs, direct ownership. Giving clients multiple ways to trade the same asset means their objectives are met wherever the market takes them”.

Axi notes that interest in direct ownership aligns with broader industry developments as platforms move toward integrated financial ecosystems combining trading, investing, and digital asset access.

Twenty-four youth and intergenerationally led organizations to advance tech accountability, youth mental health, responsible AI, and technology-based climate solutions

SAN FRANCISCO, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund (RTYPF) announced $1.9 million in funding to support 24 youth- and intergenerationally-led organizations working to create a safer, more equitable digital ecosystem. This is RTYPF’s third year of investing in the youth-led responsible technology movement, and its newest cohort arrives as mounting legal scrutiny of social media’s impact on young people and urgent conversations around AI safety converge to affirm that the work of building a safer digital ecosystem is more critical than ever. 2026 grantees will use grant funding to advance work across a variety of issues, including tech accountability, youth mental health, responsible AI, and technology-based climate solutions. The fund’s grantees are receiving one-year grants of $50,000 to $100,000, allocated based on organizational capacity and funding needs.

Reimagining Power in Philanthropy

RTYPF was founded with the acknowledgment that traditional philanthropic organizations too rarely center the voices of the communities they serve — especially young people. The Fund has deliberately engaged in power-sharing in grantmaking, inviting young leaders to move from recipients to decision-makers.

In its second year, the RTYPF steering committee added four seats to include young leaders from previous grantee cohorts (AI Consensus, Innovation for Everyone, Future Incubator, and trubel&co). Each young leader received $75,000, providing the financial resources to remain focused on their organizational goals while serving in decision-making roles in grant selection, ecosystem building, and future thinking for the Fund. This step helped refine the Fund’s focus to three specific areas of responsible technology: AI, climate activism, and mental health.

Now in its third year, RTYPF has continued to elevate youth leadership on its steering committee and has mobilized a cumulative amount of $7.5 million of support for a diverse group of young leaders, with investments from co-funders, Allen Family Philanthropies, Archewell Philanthropies, Arthur M. Blank Foundation, Carmel Hill Fund, Hopelab, Omidyar Network, Pinterest, Pivotal, Stuart Foundation, and Susan Crown Exchange, and an intergenerational grantmaking approach. By reimaging power structures in funding decisions, RTYPF demonstrates what is possible when young people are centered in decisions that transform the potential of grantmaking.

“Creating change requires bringing the voices, lived experience, and grassroots action of young people to decision-making spaces”, said Neha Shukla, Founder of Innovation for Everyone and RTYPF Steering Committee Member. “We can be the leaders, organizers, and activists standing alongside older generations to reimagine a safer future of technology.”
