Of the total potential for NIB issuance in West Java, there are 4,533,268 NIBs for Micro and Small Enterprises (UMK).

Head of the Economic Section (Kabag) of the KBB Regional Secretariat, Deni Achmad said that the target for achieving NIB in West Bandung Regency is 41,516 NIB.

"The NIB that has been issued until December 2024 is 38,787 NIB or 93.43% of the target set by West Java Province from a total of 58,216 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMK) in West Bandung Regency that have been recorded," he said, Monday (16/12/2024).

"The Economic Section of the West Bandung Regency Regional Secretariat, the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office and the Cooperatives and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Office are helping business actors to obtain the issuance of a Business Identification Number (NIB)," he said.

"We have collaborated to carry out training activities for the issuance of a Business Identification Number service which began with socialization activities and training for the issuance of a Business Identification Number (NIB) which were carried out in July at The Radiant Hotel Lembang and in August at Takashimaya Hotel Lembang," he added.

"There are various benefits for cooperatives and MSMEs to have a NIB, including, first, being able to facilitate business actors to store licensing data in one identity," he said.

Furthermore, the fourth benefit is facilitating empowerment from the central government, regions, and other institutions so that business actors can develop their businesses, the fifth benefit is cutting business licensing time through the presence of the Online Single Submission (OSS) system and NIB will help the business licensing process become faster and easier.

"Furthermore, the sixth benefit is that by having a NIB, you will get certainty and protection in doing business in a predetermined location so that the business being run will provide confidence to carry out cooperation with other parties," he said.

"Although the target for issuing NIB in West Bandung Regency has not been achieved in 2024, at least operators at the village level have been trained and understand how to serve the community in NIB issuance services and are optimistic that in 2025 West Bandung Regency can meet the target given by the provincial government," he said.

Indonet Expands Underground Fiber Network, Targets Karawang Industrial Area

PT Indointernet Tbk. (Indonet) has launched the third route of its underground fiber optic network to strengthen connectivity reliability for industrial facilities and data centers across the Bekasi–Karawang corridor. With the addition of the third route, the total length of Indonet's underground fiber optic network has increased by approximately 141% compared with its pre-2024 network infrastructure. Indonet Operations Director Agus Ariyanto said the additional fiber optic infrastructure enhances the performance and resilience of the company's existing transmission system. Ensuring high service availability remains a key priority in supporting today's increasingly hybrid business operations. "Both underground fiber routes that have been operational since 2025 have maintained 100% Ready for Service (RFS), indicating that there have been no fiber cable disruptions or outages to date," Agus told Bisnis on Wednesday (July 8, 2026). According to Agus, the network expansion broadens Indonet's coverage while improving overall service reliability. For business-to-business (B2B) customers, the expanded and more resilient network enables the company to deliver more dependable connectivity to support growing business demands, particularly in industrial estates, data centers, and enterprise operations. Installing the entire fiber optic infrastructure underground is a core component of Indonet's strategy to minimize the risk of physical damage. The approach has proven effective in maintaining stable data transmission since the initial network corridor was introduced. Agus added that implementing route diversity through three separate fiber routes with adequate physical separation allows data traffic to be automatically rerouted if one route experiences a disruption. All fiber optic cables are buried at depths ranging from 1.5 to 2 meters and are monitored through routine patrols conducted by the company's operational teams. In addition to improving physical network resilience, Indonet has designed its infrastructure with substantial capacity to accommodate future growth in digital demand. The company has upgraded its backbone network capacity to 100 Gbps, enabling higher bandwidth to support data-intensive business applications in the Karawang Mitra Industrial Estate (Kawasan Industri Mitra Karawang/KIM). The company believes significant opportunities remain for digital infrastructure expansion as Indonesia continues to accelerate technology transformation, cloud adoption, and artificial intelligence implementation. "The deployment of 2 × 576-core fiber is part of Indonet's long-term strategy to anticipate the growing demand for connectivity across industrial estates and data center clusters," Agus said.

WORLD FOOD DAY West Java DKPP Will Disseminate Local Food and Campaign to Stop Waste of Food

PORTALJABAR, KOTA BANDUNG - The West Java Provincial Government through the West Java Food and Livestock Security Service (DKPP) will hold a commemoration of World Food Day 2024. At the West Java Province level, the commemoration of World Food Day 2024 will be held, on November 16, at SOR Arcamanik, Bandung City. A number of activities will be held, such as seminars, local food product exhibitions, joint sports, cheap bazaars and food creation competitions. West Java DKPP Secretary Indriantari said it was time to no longer depend on rice to meet food or carbohydrate needs because there are many types of local food, especially in West Java, that can replace it. "For example, sorghum, hanjeli (jali) or sweet potatoes can replace carbohydrates from rice," said Indriantari in an event entitled Bewara West Java (Beja) Vol. 12, commemorating the 44th World Food Day, with the theme "Local Food, Future Food Solutions for West Java Independence" in the hall of the Regional Secretariat of West Java Province, Bandung City, Wednesday (13/11/2024). Indriantari said, at this commemoration DKPP would expand the socialization of the use of local food, as well as campaigning to Stop Food Waste, one of which is sorghum products as a substitute for rice, which will be introduced to the public during the event. West Java DKPP will also sign a collaboration with the hotel and restaurant association in West Java to utilize suitable food that does not run out so that it is not thrown away. "There has been a circular from the Acting Governor of West Java to all OPDs to save food by controlling food waste in collaboration with food banks or associations, as well as reducing waste from homes," he said. He also explained that expanding local food production from upstream to downstream or processed ingredients would increase food security in West Java, as well as reduce food dependence, especially rice from other areas outside West Java. Yudith Sri Wulandari, an MSME player in sorghum production, said that many of the sorghum products he makes can be enjoyed instantly and are easily processed into contemporary products. "Sorghum can be a substitute for heavy meals and also snacks. I already have processed sorghum flour products that can be used to make foods such as bread and even ramen," he explained. He has collaborated with farmers, such as supplying the superior Bio Huma variant of sorghum seeds to helping with the production and distribution process. "It has been sent to various regions in Indonesia. Later on November 16, people will be able to taste sorghum food and processed sorghum products," he said. Yudith hopes that the dissemination of the use of local West Java food will continue so that local food protection can be maximized. He also hopes that sorghum production will be increased to meet increasing demand. (SOURCE)
