Singapore and Indonesia will conduct a joint study on the technology sector in the Batam, Bintan and Karimun (BBK) region to identify future opportunities, even as both countries advance plans to transform the area into a “vibrant digital hub”. The developments were discussed at the 16th Singapore-Indonesia Six Bilateral Economic Working Groups Ministerial Meeting in Jakarta on June 9, co-chaired by Singapore Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong and Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto. The annual meeting is a platform for the two neighbours to coordinate economic cooperation across six areas: investments, manpower, transport, tourism, agribusiness, and the development of the BBK region and other special economic zones.   https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/singapore-indonesia-plan-joint-study-to-transform-batam-bintan-into-vibrant-digital-hub?ref=top-story (ICE SINGAPORE)
