The Nusantara Capital Authority (OIKN) invited micro, small, and medium enterprises to seize business opportunities in commercial areas within Nusantara currently being developed in East Kalimantan's North Penajam Paser and Kutai Kartanegara.
To that end, the OIKN held a market gathering to brief MSME actors on the business opportunities they can seize by participating in the development of public and social infrastructure in Nusantara.
Speaking during the event in North Penajam Paser on Thursday, OIKN Deputy for Infrastructure and Facility Silvia Halim explained that the market gathering was to attract MSMEs whose quality and standards align with Nusantara's vision of becoming a global city.
According to Halim, the government would carry out an open and fair selection process for MSMEs that will supply the basic needs of civil servants and security personnel that will start inhabiting Nusantara's Core Government Area (KIPP) in September 2024.
"Following the selection process, we will provide the chosen MSMEs with mentoring and empowerment activities," Halim pointed out.
"That way, MSMEs and Nusantara City will grow side by side," Halim remarked.
Viby Indrayana, OIKN Director of Building, Regional, and Urban Management, underscored that the construction of Nusantara had progressed to the stage of filling in some infrastructures and facilities that have been built.
He remarked that the OIKN is striving to rope business players into the city to provide supplies of medicines, food, and beverages to revitalize Nusantara's social ecosystem.
Meanwhile, chairperson of an MSME association in North Penajam Paser, Rizal Ramadhan Sinaga, expressed hope that the government would genuinely involve local MSMEs in the development of IKN to help them boost their revenues.
