  • Runjian introduced its Token-as-a-Service model at AIMX Singapore 2026, offering companies flexible access to AI computing capacity.
  • The company has worked on Indonesian projects including Morowali Smart Park and a J&T Express data center.
  • Runjian says TaaS can help businesses scale AI without building all computing infrastructure themselves.

Runjian is positioning Indonesia as a central base for its expansion across Southeast Asia, with digital infrastructure and AI computing at the center of its strategy.

The Chinese technology company presented its Token-as-a-Service model at AIMX Singapore 2026, held on Aug. 26 and 27 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre. As a Platinum Sponsor, Runjian used the theme โ€œToken as a Service: Powering a Smarter ASEANโ€ to promote the model internationally.

TaaS allows corporate clients to access computing capacity according to their needs. Athena Zhao, Runjianโ€™s vice president, said the approach could make AI adoption more accessible and efficient for Southeast Asian companies. โ€œThe Token-as-a-Service model has great potential to support AI adoption in Southeast Asia,โ€ Zhao said at the forum.

Runjianโ€™s Indonesian work includes the Morowali Smart Park project in Central Sulawesi, where it handled server rooms, data networks, storage and transmission, gateways, monitoring, wired and wireless networks, access control and power systems. The company is also developing a J&T Express data center, supplying servers, network security equipment, switches, routers and technical support for the projectโ€™s second and third expansion phases.

The company says its TaaS model builds on that infrastructure experience. Businesses can use AI computing resources more flexibly and at a scale matched to their applications, rather than constructing all capacity independently.

The Token-as-a-Service model has great potential to support AI adoption in Southeast Asia. TaaS can help companies gain more inclusive, needs-based access to computing capacity, allowing AI to be deployed at scale more efficiently.
