Regarding raw materials, Indonesia has silica sand reserves amounting to 330 million tons, with deposits spread across Kalimantan, Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Nusa Tenggara, and Papua.

"Therefore, the government has provided full support in terms of fiscal incentives for the development of the semiconductor ecosystem," Nugroho remarked.

He stated that some of the government’s support for the development of this semiconductor ecosystem includes the provision of tax holidays, tax allowances, and super tax deductions.

"These incentive facilities have great potential to be utilized by investors interested in the semiconductor industry ecosystem, enabling them to expand or make new investments domestically," he stated.
