"They wanted to build high technology industrial estate including industries," Director General of Development of Industrial Areas Imam Haryono said when accompanying Industry Minister Airlangga Hartarto in a meeting with the leaders of CFLD International and CFLD Indonesia here on Monday.
According to Imam, Indonesia has offered a number of locations considered suitable for high technology industrial estate such as Surabaya, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Malang and Bali.
Imam said the government offered the five places as they are close to a number of high learning institutes and quality human resources.
CFLD is expected to also develop a number of industries to Indonesia, such as electronic industry and information technology.
Currently, CFLD is seeking to approach a number of local industrial estate operators before embarking on its plan, Imam said.
"They are approaching JIIPE, and Wilmar. They would soon start work when everything is okay," he said.
He said CFLD has five advantages that the could utilize to develop new industrial estates in Indonesia including capital, experience, market, access, and innovation skills.
CFLD is also considered credible as it currently has 52 projects , and has built an industrial estate in an area with original regional income leapfrogging from only US$19 million in 2013 to US$1 billion in 2015.(*)
