In line with this, Head of the Nusantara Capital Authority (OIKN), Bambang Susantono revealed that this collaboration aligns with the spirit of the Nusantara Capital to become a 'living lab,' or a living laboratory for the latest scientific knowledge for sustainable development.
"I appreciate today's collaboration between state-owned enterprises and the private sector to jointly support the development of the Knowledge Hub in IKN," said Bambang Susantono, Head of the Nusantara Capital Authority (OIKN).
This development collaboration focuses on three main aspects. The first aspect concerns the Development of the Shared Hub Infrastructure itself, which will be built in a strategic location within the Edutown IKN area and will be part of the Nusantara Knowledge Hub.
The location will serve as a knowledge exchange center, including an innovation ecosystem for climate.
The second aspect, this collaboration will encompass research on AI-Based Critical Minerals. Critical minerals have crucial uses with no viable substitutes but face potential supply disruptions, thus defined as critical to the economy and national security.
Research on critical minerals utilizing AI-based exploration technology will contribute to sustainable resource management practices.
The third aspect relates to research on an Integrated Roadmap, which is an integrated approach to ensure alignment with the comprehensive principles of IKN development as a "forest city," emphasizing sustainable development and harmonious coexistence with nature.
