The Indonesian President Mr. Joko Widodo announced 2019 a plan to relocate the new capital city to East Kalimantan Province and this idea has been well received and approved by the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia. The relocation aims to reduce the burden of Jakarta city as Indonesia’s primary hub and dismiss the Java centric era as well as to build equal development across the country.
The new capital city is planned to be built as a green, modern and smart city – a world class city for all. The main goal is to build a new city that is competitive at the global level and to build a new locomotive for the transformation of Indonesia as an innovative and technology-based with a green economy where citizens will be living good life with the help of data and sustainable technology.
Finland is a forerunner in sustainability and well working society. Finnish energy efficient and circular economy driven solutions pave the way to the smart city as well as carbon neutrality goals of Indonesia.
Digitalization is the core of the Finnish smart city and together with accurate connectivity a major enabler of the future oriented and well working community.
