Currently, ITN Malang already has a Research and Technology Innovation Center for new and renewable energy. Some of the innovation tools that have been produced include artificial intelligence based solar trackers, smart home systems based on solar energy, air to water conversion tools, wind turbines and water turbines, solar thermal energy collectors, as well as smart super chargers for fast charging of electric motorcycle and car batteries. powered by solar energy.
KSP itself is tasked with ensuring the benefits of the government's national strategic program reach all levels of society.
