The Batam Authority has presented a series of investment opportunities in Batam to China Railway Engineering Co., Ltd. (CREC), a well-known Chinese enterprise. CREC is a company responsible for railway construction projects in China and overseas, having successfully built the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project. With extensive experience in urban construction, it has helped many overseas cities develop. Both sides hope this meeting will become the starting point for CREC's investment in Batam, potentially starting with the construction of the Batam Light Rail Transit (LRT) project, as well as the construction of cross-Batam highways and Galang Island seawalls to support national strategic projects. Batam has a population of 1.3 million, categorized as a large city that requires modern transportation support. The CREC representative expressed gratitude for the investment opportunities in Batam and believes that with LRT facilities, Batam can become an advanced city like Shenzhen in China.
