Three Stages to Southeast Asia's AI Infrastructure Backbone
AVTR's development programme is structured as a disciplined, capital-efficient progression from proof-of-concept to sovereign-scale infrastructure — each stage de-risking the next.
25MW Proof of Concept
The Stage 1 facility establishes AVTR's operational credibility, validates the Batam infrastructure thesis, and creates the physical and regulatory foundation for full-scale expansion.
Site Acquisition & Permitting
Land acquisition in Batam Free Trade Zone. Environmental impact assessment and construction permits secured from BIDA (Batam Indonesia Free Zone Authority).
Financial Close
Completion of Series A equity round and project finance facility. Anchor tenant LOIs executed with at least one hyperscaler or sovereign cloud provider.
Civil & Structural Works
Foundation, structural steel, and building envelope construction. Dedicated 150kV substation construction commenced with PLN grid connection agreement.
MEP & Cooling Installation
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing fit-out. Direct liquid cooling CDU installation and commissioning. UPS and generator systems energised.
Network & Fibre Commissioning
Subsea fibre cross-connects to Singapore activated. Carrier-neutral meet-me room operational. 100G backbone spine-leaf network live.
First Customer Go-Live
Initial rack deployments for anchor tenant. Facility achieves ISO/IEC 27001 and Uptime Institute Tier III certification. Commercial operations declared.
200–250MW Full-Scale Campus
Stage 2 transforms the POC into a hyperscaler-grade campus, leveraging the operational track record, regulatory relationships, and grid infrastructure established in Stage 1.
Campus Master Plan & Approvals
Full campus master plan approved by BIDA. Additional land parcels secured for phased hall construction. Grid capacity reservation with PLN for 250MW total load.
Series B Capital Raise
Institutional equity and infrastructure debt financing for Stage 2 construction. Target anchor commitments from sovereign wealth funds and infrastructure investment funds.
Hall 2 & 3 Construction
Two additional data halls bringing total IT load to 100MW. Shared campus infrastructure: central energy centre, campus spine network, and visitor/operations centre.
Renewable Energy Integration
Power Purchase Agreements with Riau Islands geothermal and hydro generators executed. On-site solar array commissioned. Campus achieves 100% renewable energy coverage.
Halls 4 & 5 — Full Capacity
Final two data halls commissioned, bringing campus to full 200–250MW IT load. Campus-wide liquid cooling network and shared CDU plant fully operational.
Hyperscaler Anchor Tenancy
Long-term capacity agreements with two or more hyperscalers or sovereign cloud providers. Campus achieves stabilised occupancy and target EBITDA margins.
AI Special Economic Zone
Stage 3 is AVTR's long-horizon vision: a dedicated AI SEZ that transforms Batam into a sovereign AI infrastructure hub for Southeast Asia — combining compute, connectivity, talent, and regulatory frameworks in a single jurisdiction.
Sovereign AI Infrastructure Status
Formal designation as a national AI infrastructure asset by the Indonesian government, providing long-term regulatory certainty, preferential energy allocation, and sovereign-backed offtake agreements.
500MW+ Compute Campus
Expansion beyond the Stage 2 campus to 500MW+ of AI compute capacity across multiple data halls, supporting the largest frontier model training and inference workloads in the region.
AI Research & Innovation Hub
Co-location of AI research institutions, university partnerships, and startup incubators within the SEZ, creating a talent pipeline and innovation ecosystem anchored by the compute infrastructure.
Regional Interconnect Node
AVTR's SEZ becomes a neutral interconnect point for Southeast Asian AI infrastructure — connecting national AI clouds from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines via dedicated subsea fibre.
