Jakarta – The President Director and Chief Executive of Bakrie & Brothers (BNBR), Anindya Novyan Bakrie, discussed the advantages of the Nusantara Capital (IKN) using the concept of a green and smart city for sustainability.

He discussed it while being one of the speakers at the Nusantara Fair 2024, organized by the Nusantara Capital Authority (OIKN) in collaboration with the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) at Mal Kota Kasablanka, Jakarta on January 26-28, 2024.

"I hope IKN not only represents Indonesia's future but more importantly, what Indonesia can achieve in the future," Bakrie said as quoted from his official Instagram account, @Anindyabakrie on Wednesday.

"Because, in my opinion, the concepts of green and smart are two crucial elements that are synonymous with Indonesia," he added.

Bakrie stated that the smart concept reflects the condition of the youth in the country, who are already very digitally friendly today. Therefore, he hopes that the green and smart concept can be realized in IKN, creating a unity that fosters the well-being of the community.

"Why smart? Because we have a lot of young people who are very digital-friendly. But how do we unite green and smart to ensure the welfare of the community also takes place," Bakrie remarked.
