NEC Indonesia has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Telkom Indonesia which is strongly committed to accelerating the country's digitalization. Both companies agreed to collaborate in developing Smart Cities in the new capital city, Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN), and other Indonesian cities.
