The Bengkulu City Investment and Integrated One-Stop Service Office (DPMPTSP) has made it easier to invest in the region through the Bengkulu City Investment Information System (Siikolu) website. Investors can find out the initial data needed before investigating for a potential investment in Bengkulu City, such as on infrastructure and transportation in the city, through the website.

"The digital form of Siikolu is [part of] our efforts to increase investment. We want to make it easier for investors, especially from outside the city, to already know what sectors to invest in Bengkulu City before doing so through the investment map," Bengkulu City DPMPTSP Head Irsan Setiawan stated in Bengkulu on Dec. 6, 2024.

He added that the name Siikolu is a conjunction of the local phrase siko dulu, which means come here first in the hope that investors can see the city's investment opportunities.

"We hope that the investment map can really be useful for investors who will invest their capital in Bengkulu City," Irsan said.

Among Bengkulu City Government's regional apparatus, 12 are involved in the Siikolu project.

"The regional apparatus' involvement is crucial because they oversee differing potential investments that attracts varying types of investors," he explained.

Realized investments to Bengkulu City reached Rp579.36 billion as of the second quarter (Q2) of 2024.
