IKN Welcomes Three New Investors, Aiming to Build a Sports and Culinary Hub
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The Nusantara Capital Authority (IKN) signed three Cooperation Agreements (PKS) with several investors at the IKN Authority City Hall, in the Core Area of the State Capital (KIPP) Nusantara, yesterday, Wednesday (25/2/2026).
This signing marks a step to encourage various investment projects and provide supporting facilities for the community in the Nusantara area. Several investors who signed the PKS include PT Panca Karya Sentosa, PT Maxi Nusantara Raya, and PT Borneo Berkah Abadi.
These three collaborations cover the development of commercial and public service facilities, ranging from shopping centres, culinary areas, to sports facilities spread across development areas 1A and 1C. All of these projects are designed to support the daily needs of residents in the area, including civil servants (ASN) and the community in the Nusantara area.
Head of the IKN Authority, Basuki Hadimuljono, affirmed that investment development in Nusantara continues to show a positive trend. As of early 2026, as many as 57 companies have committed to investing with a value of around IDR 72 trillion.
“Currently, as of early 2026, there are commitments from 57 companies with a total of pure private investment of IDR 72 trillion. The development of IKN is also increasingly improving in terms of public trust, including in the business sector, especially with the presence of Presidential Regulation No. 79 and the presence of the President and Vice President,” said Basuki in an official statement, quoted on Thursday (26/2/2026).
In addition, the IKN Authority also ensures ease in the licensing process and provides assistance to investors, so that the implementation of projects can run faster and more precisely. Strong commitment is also shown by the business actors involved. One of the investors from PT Maxi Nusantara Raya, Suni Yuwono Kusbandi, said that their presence in IKN is not solely oriented towards profit, but also plays a role as a contributor to the development of the Nusantara area.
“We have been given the opportunity to invest in sector 1A and the location is also good. We are committed that this is IKN, we must make it happen. So I no longer calculate profits, sir. Profit and loss are secondary, we must create the ecosystem,” he said.
In the future, the development of commercial, social and other supporting facilities will continue to be encouraged to support the growth of the urban area ecosystem. This step is expected to bring various economic activities and strengthen the appeal of the Capital Nusantara as a new centre of civilisation in Indonesia.
