Australian AI infrastructure startup Firmus Technologies has announced a long-term partnership with Nvidia to establish a dedicated AI campus in Batam, Indonesia.
The campus will provide large-scale AI computing resources for enterprise, independent software vendor (ISV), and AI-native clients worldwide
Under the agreement, Firmus will create a 360-megawatt (MW) Nvidia DSX AI Factory campus, set to feature up to 170,000 Nvidia AI accelerators. The facility is scheduled to begin deploying Vera-Rubin, Grace-Blackwell, and Vera platform accelerators through 2027 and 2028, which would make it one of the largest AI infrastructure projects in the Asia-Pacific region. The collaboration is expected to run until 2034.
Firmus stated that the venture would allow global customers to access Nvidia’s AI accelerated computing stack through a structure combining revenue sharing and credit support. Through this, Firmus will offer cloud-based Nvidia infrastructure, with Nvidia receiving both standard product revenue and a portion of revenue generated from cloud services sold on the platform. According to Firmus, based on current customer commitments, it anticipates between $25bn and $30bn in offtake agreements over the first six years of the partnership.
