Ridwan Kamil, the Governor of West Java, Indonesia​​, has confirmed his participation in GovInsider Live, our flagship summit which will be held in Bangkok this year.

He hopes to develop West Java into a “super economic zone”. It is the most populous province in Indonesia, with over 46.5 million people, and is close to Jakarta - factors that make it attractive to foreign investors, reports The Jakarta Post.

Before he was Governor, Ridwan was Mayor of Bandung, where he worked towards eliminating bureaucracy in government, building a smart city, and overhauled public services so they are faster and more efficient. “A combination of Bali and Singapore – that will be my Bandung vision,” he told GovInsider previously.

He will speak at GovInsider Live, Asia’s biggest and best government innovation summit. We are only two months away!
