The Nusantara Capital (IKN) continues to draw global investor interest, recently hosting a delegation from the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Saga. Led by CEO & Chairman of Kanzaki Industry Corp, Tsuru Katsuya, the delegation expressed serious interest in long-term investments aligned with IKN’s vision as a city addressing modern urban challenges. During their visit to the Central Government Core Area (KIPP), Tsuru highlighted that Japan’s own experiences with metropolitan density make IKN’s development particularly appealing, strengthening confidence in potential business ventures. The mission focused on evaluating economic infrastructure, transportation facilities, and other strategic assets to inform future investment plans.
IKN Authority Chief Basuki Hadimuljono welcomed the delegation and reaffirmed the city’s commitment to sustainable, green development. Phase I and II of IKN’s construction prioritize government offices and residential areas, while subsequent phases expand across nine development zones covering diverse economic and industrial sectors. Basuki encouraged JETRO to target industries that follow sustainable practices, particularly clean-and-green sectors such as agroindustry and fisheries. Japan’s advanced technology and environmental innovation make these opportunities especially attractive, paving the way for concrete collaborations to leverage Japanese expertise in realizing IKN as a modern, sustainable metropolis.
