IBM Indonesia, the local branch of United States-based multinational technology company IBM, announced that it has joined hands with University of Indonesia to run a big data and cognitive computing course, in an effort to improve and popularize the understanding of data analytics in the country.

The classes, which started on Feb. 14, are attended by more than 100 students. Technology and industry experts from IBM participated in the course as guest lecturers.

Our partnership with University of Indonesia to run the first class in this subject is part of our commitment to prepare the younger generations for a new era of technology,” IBM Indonesia said in a statement.

Accounting chair at the faculty, Ancella A. Hermawan, said the course was initiated by the faculty to improve the competence of its graduates.
