Jaka Santos added that the use of smart lighting technology can revolutionize the way we illuminate our cities, making them more energy efficient, safer, and environmentally friendly.

OIKN's exploration of this technology can make it a positive example for other cities in Indonesia and the world to follow their efforts towards a sustainable living system.

“Smart lighting technology is just one of many innovative approaches that are being explored by OIKN to create sustainable, smart, and livable cities. Their efforts are in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, specifically Goal 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities, and Goal 13 - Climate Action," said Jaka Santos.

By reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions through smart lighting, Nusantara will also contribute to Indonesia's efforts to mitigate the impact of climate change. Smart lighting technology will also create a safer and more secure environment for residents and visitors.

"The development of the Archipelago as a smart and sustainable city is not only about creating a modern city but also about creating a livable and resilient city for its people," said Jaka Santos.
