A Series Of Global Technology Giants Successfully Showcased Their Capabilities At The IKN Event

Throughout 2024, a number of leading global technology companies have showcased their product concepts or Proof of Concept (PoC) in the Nusantara Capital City (IKN). A total of nine technology firms from Indonesia and various foreign countries have participated in PoC initiatives across three sectors: green transformation, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital ecosystems. Mohammed Ali Berawi, Deputy for Green and Digital Transformation at the IKN Authority, stated that, with the exception of the PoC for the autonomous system from CRRC Qingdao Sifang, which still requires refinement, the other products have performed smoothly. "The products that have undergone the PoC process in IKN demonstrate good performance in both function and operation, meeting the established needs, requirements, regulations, and standards," Ale explained exclusively to Kompas.com on Thursday, January 9, 2025.  

In the realm of green transformation, Schneider Electric from France has conducted a PoC for Building Management Systems. This includes the management of building electricity, indoor and outdoor sensors, security sensors, lighting management, water management, and the utilization of solar energy to support building operations. Additionally, Signify Lighting Corporation from the Netherlands has implemented a PoC for Solar Smart Lighting & Smart Pole. Their product trial focuses on the deployment of smart lighting technology and smart poles equipped with connectivity features, energy efficiency, and data management to support the smart city concept of IKN. Meanwhile, Plasticpay, a domestic company, is undergoing a PoC for a Reverse Vending Machine as a form of circular economy implementation, providing incentives for the community to innovatively collect plastic waste. In the field of artificial intelligence, three prominent global companies are involved: Yellow AI from India, NTT Docomo based in Japan, and Starlink Services LLC from the United States. Yellow AI is conducting a PoC for the IKNOW chatbot. 

NTT Docomo is advancing OpenRAN and OpenWIFI by providing state-of-the-art 5G internet connectivity services in public rest areas and technology hubs, accessible to the community at no cost. Meanwhile, Starlink Services LCC is conducting a Proof of Concept (PoC) for Low Earth Orbit Satellite technology, focusing on internet access via low-orbit satellites in the new capital city (IKN). In the realm of digital ecosystems, three companies have successfully completed their trials. The first is Sergek Group from Kazakhstan, which has finished testing an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) in Balikpapan. This system integrates both existing and new cameras, supported by artificial intelligence-based vehicle identification, and includes a dashboard for various mobility parameters for urban traffic management. 

Next, Hyundai from South Korea has conducted trials for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), featuring on-demand air mobility technology operated autonomously. This trial took place at APT Pranoto Airport in Samarinda on July 31, 2024, showcasing the capabilities of an autonomous aircraft prototype. Lastly, CRRC Qingdao Sifang from China has completed trials for an Integrated Autonomous Tram (TOT). In addition to these companies, seven other major technology firms from the United States are participating in the ongoing Phase II of the Proof of Concept for the Integrated Command and Control Center (ICCC). These firms include Amazon Web Services, Autodesk Incorporation, Cisco Systems Incorporation, Environmental Systems Research Institute Incorporation (ESRI), International Business Machines (IBM), Honeywell International Incorporation, and Motorola Mobility LLC.
