RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta – The Indonesian government continues to accelerate the development of the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) while strengthening the economic ecosystem in its supporting regions. One of the steps taken was to hold the IKN Strategic Investment Opportunities Business Forum in Jakarta on Thursday, May 21, 2026.

The forum was attended by officials from the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming, representatives of the IKN Authority, business associations, and potential investors. During the forum, the government provided the latest updates on the progress of the IKN, as well as investment opportunities available to the business community.

Secretary of the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming, Rudy Salahuddin, stated that the government has prepared nine investment projects ready to be offered to investors. These projects fall under the Investment Project Ready to Offer (IPRO) scheme.

“To support the development of the IKN, the Ministry of Investment, BKPM, has also formulated nine Investment Projects Ready to Offer, IPRO, in the IKN support zones. The formulation of these IPROs aims to accelerate investment and the development of the IKN buffer zones,” Rudy said.

Meanwhile, Director of Investment and Ease of Doing Business at the IKN Authority, Ferdinand Kana Lo, explained that the government is also preparing various incentives to attract investors. These incentives include both fiscal and non-fiscal benefits. One of the main benefits offered is a tax holiday, which provides up to 100% exemption from corporate and personal income tax for investors in the IKN.

He stated, “Well, that was specifically regarding investment incentives in Nusantara. There are both fiscal and non-fiscal incentives. First, the tax holiday. This means corporate and personal income tax is calculated at 100%. So, for all investors in the IKN, both corporate and personal income tax rates are effectively zero.”

Currently, the IKN Authority is categorizing investment needs into two major categories. For the short term, investment opportunities are focused on the construction of boarding schools, warehouses, daycare centers, and toxic waste management facilities. Meanwhile, for the long term, the government is opening investment opportunities in the data center sector, carbon trading, and the development of green energy.
