Susantono also remarked that the OIKN collaborates with the Center for Liveable Cities in Singapore and the World Resources Institute in Washington D.C., the United States.
"While we are preparing a proof of concept for projects like flying taxis for 2045 with Hyundai. Hopefully, we can see that," he stated.
The OIKN has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Stanford University's Doerr School of Sustainability.
Under this MoU, Stanford and its alumni in Indonesia are committed to building a world-class research center in Nusantara's core area.
The research results, involving stakeholders, will support the development of Nusantara as a green and sustainable smart city.
OIKN has allocated three hectares for the research center in the core of Nusantara. Stanford alumni in Indonesia are involved in building the research center, and Stanford University will work towards ensuring extensive research activities are conducted.
