Blung, dkst.itb.ac.id& nbsp; & ndash; After a mature process of planning and development, ITB Innovation Park Bandu Technopolis is officially operating on January 14, 2025. The operational transfer of the Directorate of the Science and Technology Area (DKST) to a building located in the Summarecon Bandung area, Gedebage, this is a continuation of soft opening that was organized on December 6, 2024. The activity at once marks the start of centralized management for innovation research, startup incubation, instead of technology, and illirization of ITB research products.
This building is the complement of an ITB Innovation Park Ganesha which has been active since 2022. With the presence of facilities at Gedebage, ITB now has two strategic connected innovation centers, creating an ecosystem that supports the hibernation of research and development products for startup to enter national and international markets.
Triple Helix Collaborate Support
The construction of ITB Innovation Park Bdul Technopolis is not off collaboration & nbsp;triple helix& nbsp; between government, industry and college. The construction of this building is listed as a national priority project according to Press No. 18 / 2020 on the National Mid Design Plan (RPJMN) 2020 & ndash; 2024.
Summarecon Bdub, through the Royal Crown PT Jewels, provides a land grant of 6.027 square meters for initial development, with the potential expansion to a total of 1 hectare. This project is also supported by Asian Development Bank (ADB) via PRIME STeP program (Promoting Research and Innovation through Modern and Effective Science and Technology Parks) with a funding of $138.52 million.
Advanced Modern Facility
ITB Innovation Park Bdub Technopolis consists of two main buildings with a minimalist modern design that contains the philosophy & ldquo; Four-Pilar National of ITB & rdquo; & mdash; Technology, Science, Humaniora, and Arts. This project was carried out by PT Wijaya Building Building Tbk (WIKA Building) for 852 days calendar by November 2024.
This building is equipped with superior solar facilities such as 159 KWP solar panels, natural ventilation based & nbsp;stack effect& nbsp; for energy efficiency, as well as building orientation minimize heat absorption. As the first high-rise building with basement facilities in the Gedebage region, this innovation was designed to support user comfort and operational efficiency.
Pushing Commercial Innovation and Startup ITB
As a center of innovation, ITB Innovation Park was designed to support commercial research results and technology-based startup. Facility such as co- working space, innovation labs, business incubators, until the rent office is available to help researchers and startup develop innovative and competitive products in the global market.
The ITB research products that include the LOT-based technology, sustainable materials, and digital solutions can now go faster into the histories stage through the facility at Gedebage. This process is supported by the Directorate of the Science and Technology Area that gives you a position and connects researchers to industrial partners.
The building's management is ready to catalyze in encouraging the hilirization of ITB research products, startup development, and economic transformation based technology. According to Fook Yen Chong from Southeast Asia Department ADB, the adoption of new technology is potentially increasing 0.55% of Indonesian economic growth every year for the next two decades. With ITB Innovation Park, that hope is getting closer to reality, making Indonesia more competitive in global numbers.
ITB Innovation Park Bdul Technopolis is now the center of innovation, commercial, and collaboration, consolidating ITB contributes to extensive research and technological development.
