BATAM, Indonesia, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pegatron, a global technology leader, has officially inaugurated its new smart manufacturing facility in Batam, Indonesia. The factory combines advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, and 5G connectivity, marking a key milestone in Pegatron's global digital transformation journey.

To power this transformation, Pegatron has partnered with Telkomsel, Indonesia's largest digital telecommunications provider and first 5G operator. Through its enterprise unit, Telkomsel delivers a Standalone (SA) 5G Private Network, ensuring secure, high-speed connectivity across the production area. The collaboration also includes 1,200 SIM cards to support Internet of Things (IoT) devices for real-time machinery and production monitoring. Telkomsel is simultaneously strengthening its public network to enhance workforce mobility and operational productivity.

"Our partnership with Telkomsel lays the foundation for a connected, adaptive, and efficient Smart Factory," said Gary Cheng, Pegatron President and CEO. "With Telkomsel's strong digital infrastructure, we are driving operational transformation and supporting the growth of Indonesia's high-tech sector."

Adis Alifiawan, Director of Spectrum Planning at the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, underscored the national significance of the project. "Indonesia is becoming not just a market, but a producer and innovator in global technology," he said.

The factory's 5G Private Network enables seamless integration of thousands of sensors and machines, supporting automation, data-driven decision-making, and optimization of cost, quality, and maintenance processes.

Wong Soon Nam, Planning & Transformation Director of Telkomsel, highlighted the broader impact of the partnership. "Our customized 5G solution empowers Pegatron to boost efficiency and competitiveness in the Industry 4.0 era," he said. This collaboration was first announced at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025.

Indonesia's manufacturing sector is showing strong growth, with rising output and new orders in 2024. A projected 5.2% GDP increase in 2025 and favorable investment conditions continue to attract global players to the region.

Setia Diarta, Director General at the Ministry of Industry, praised the companies' efforts. "This partnership shows how emerging technologies can support inclusive and sustainable industrial growth," he said.

Pegatron's Batam facility reflects its broader commitment to innovation, sustainability, and workforce development, advancing future technologies such as robotics, mobility solutions, and next-generation connectivity.

SHANGHAI, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from english.shanghai.gov.cn

The municipal government of Shanghai released a circular outlining 10 major missions to seek further breakthroughs in improving its business environment on May 8, aiming at further stabilizing employment, companies' operations and market expectations.

One of the 10 initiatives is to better align with the evaluation methods and criteria used in the World Bank's Business Ready report. Further reforms will also be advanced.

Meanwhile, favorable policies should be more easily accessible for companies. The city will launch an online platform via which companies can search for the applicable policies and obtain approvals. A "policy calculator" will also be introduced to explicitly explain the application conditions and scope for certain policies.

To further enhance administrative oversight of companies, Shanghai will complete and upgrade the supervision QR code system, which was rolled out citywide earlier this year.

According to the circular, financing costs for small and medium-sized enterprises should be reduced, and innovative financing services should be offered. To this end, Shanghai will promote a fast-track loan initiative across industrial parks, which was first piloted in the Hongkou district in northeast Shanghai.

The circular also highlights the need to improve bankruptcy procedures, as this is one of the key indicators in the World Bank report. Enhancing efficiency in this area will support company restructuring, accelerate market evolution, and improve resource allocation.
