The acquisition will solidify Cetta’s environmental technology leadership in Indonesia by advancing its AI technological capabilities while opening up new market opportunities such as the military, aviation and healthcare.
Pak Deni Khanafiah, Cetta’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are very excited to partner with the extraordinary EAS.ai team. As an agnostic tech player, they have an extraordinary portfolio and capabilities. This significant step, which marks a new future together, will be focused on development, growth, and business expansion.”
A synergistic acquisition
