PT Bumi Serpong Damai and PT ASIX to Develop AI and Robotics Research Center in BSD City
PT Bumi Serpong Damai Tbk and PT ASIX Indonesia Cerdas are teaming up on a strategic partnership to build a research center for tech, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics in BSD City. The MoU was signed on May 11, 2026, at the ASIX AI Joint Lab, ITB Innovation Park, Bandung.
The collaboration covers setting up an R&D center as an innovation lab and tech incubator, a Proof of Concept program, product showcases, and an AI & Robotics Academy. This all fits with BSD City’s vision to become an AI research hub through the mBrace (Make BSD Research and AI Center of Excellence) program.
Sinar Mas Land’s CEO of Digital Tech Ecosystem, Irawan Harahap, says this opens up opportunities for innovators and researchers to build a sustainable tech ecosystem. Meanwhile, PT ASIX’s President Director, Andrie Tjioe, highlights their commitment to bringing world-class AI and robotics tech, plus rolling out a K9 Robot for security at the Biomedical Campus BSD City.
The research center will be located at D-HUB SEZ BSD City, blending in with commercial and international education facilities in this 6,000-hectare township that’s evolving into a smart digital city.
