According to him, there are 16 priority investment projects with a total investment value offered with strategic value in the agribusiness, urban infrastructure, energy, and development areas sectors.

“The enthusiasm of investors is reflected in the signing of 27 Letters of Intent (LOI) as a form of initial commitment to explore investment opportunities in West Java,” said Dedi Taufik.

During the roadshow, direct meetings were held between investors and project holders in one-on-one sessions.

According to Dedi Taufik, the results of the one-on-one meetings showed high investor interest in various strategic sectors, especially in the BIJB Kertajati area.

Meanwhile, in the field of urban infrastructure, several large companies such as PT Mitsui Indonesia, Len Railway System, and Siemens Mobility were interested in mass transportation and street lighting projects.

Of the 16 projects offered, there is one mass transportation project, namely the Bandung Regency LRT project with an investment value of IDR 16 trillion.

In the property sector, Real Kaiten Consultancy & Investments Singapore has signed an MOU with PT BIJB to invest in several strategic projects owned by BIJB Kertajati.

Taufik Nurrohim Says Not All Areas in West Java Can Become Investment Zones

TRIBUNJABAR.ID, BANDUNG – Member of Commission III of West Java Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), Taufik Nurrohim, stated that not all areas in West Java Province can be designated as industrial zones. Taufik explained that some regencies/cities in West Java serve conservation purposes and have infrastructure that is not supportive of becoming investment zones. "In the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW), it is clear that not all areas in West Java are industrial zones. Some areas are conservation zones, and regarding infrastructure, not all regions in West Java are ready with connectivity to support investment," said Taufik Nurrohim on Saturday, June 28, 2025. However, he noted that in the past 10 years, West Java has remained the region with the highest investment in Indonesia. "The realization in 2024 was Rp174 trillion with 74 domestic investment projects and 100 foreign investment projects. In the first quarter of 2025, it reached Rp68.5 trillion, which is an extraordinary figure," he said. Nonetheless, the high investment in West Java has not been distributed across all regencies/cities in the province. The uneven distribution of investment has impacted economic inequality among the regencies/cities in West Java. "Even though West Java has the highest investment, the distribution so far has only been in five regencies/cities, namely Bogor, Bekasi, Karawang, and Bandung, which results in uneven economic conditions in West Java," he said. He explained that the high rates of poverty or unemployment in certain areas are influenced by job availability and investment itself. "There is a correlation between investment and unemployment; they do not stand alone. Therefore, if we want to solve development issues in West Java, one solution is to equalize investment distribution," Taufik concluded. [SOURCE]

"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. He further said that the socialization activities that had been carried out targeted public service officers in 16 sub-districts and operators in 165 villages in West Bandung Regency.

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.
