The Sukabumi City Government continues to show its commitment to creating an open and sustainable investment climate. One concrete manifestation of this effort was a meeting held on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, with investors from Japan and Korea.
The meeting discussed various potential collaborations, including the development of renewable energy technology and urban waste management.
One of the investors present, Digi Capital Grid from Japan, shared plans to implement renewable energy projects in Sukabumi City aimed at reducing pollution and making the city more environmentally friendly.
Although no government-owned land is yet available for use, the investor expressed full readiness to invest if all requirements, including signing nine memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with the Sukabumi City Government, can be fulfilled.
The points in the MoUs include promoting regional development, developing renewable energy, increasing job opportunities, strengthening tourism, and strategies to make the area a strategic national investment zone.
In the same meeting, PT Royal Puspita, a company producing export-standard dolls that has operated since 1992 in Sukabumi Regency, conveyed plans to expand into Sukabumi City. The company has absorbed more than 1,800 workers and conducts production processes that generate minimal waste.
However, they also revealed field challenges related to premanism interfering in employee recruitment processes. The company hopes the city government can provide legal protection and ease permitting so business activities can run smoothly.
Responding to this, Deputy Mayor of Sukabumi, Bobby Maulana, stated that the city government is very open to investors who bring economic and environmental benefits.
He emphasized the importance of creating new jobs, especially amid infrastructure development like the toll road project connecting Sukabumi with other major cities.
“We are ready to facilitate and ease processes for investors aligned with the city’s development vision, including addressing security issues wisely to keep investments conducive,” said Bobby.
With collaboration between the local government and international partners, Sukabumi City is expected to strengthen its economic foundation through green and sustainable investment.
Renewable energy projects and environmentally friendly industrial expansions are significant opportunities to realize a city that is not only economically advanced but also healthy and comfortable to live in.
