BALIKPAPAN, KOMPAS - President Director of PT Sumber Alfaria Trijaya Tbk, Anggara Hans Prawira views the existence of the Indonesian Archipelago's Capital (IKN) as a potential opportunity that his company should utilize to penetrate and expand its market share.

"Alfamart has already viewed this as a prospect and opportunity. We have also seen several opportunities for investment in IKN," said Hans while attending the Kompas100 CEO Forum Powered by PLN in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, on Wednesday (1/11/2023)."

Alfaria Trijaya is a publicly listed company that manages the Alfamart minimarket chain. Hans was present with other company leaders who are part of the Kompas CEO Forum at the 14th annual Kompas100 CEO Forum event.

Hans understands that the development of the IKN will be carried out gradually. Although the IKN development program will take a long time, Alfamart is not hesitant to invest in building store units, whether in IKN administrative locations or supporting regions.
