Michael Widjaja
Group CEO,
Sinar Mas LandInnovation is indeed a word that
immediately comes to mind when
we talk about Indonesia’s Michael
Widjaja. Born into property royalty,
he has, over the last few years,
gone about adding far more to the
empire he inherited from his family
than simply bricks and mortar. In
2014, he set about creating what
has been dubbed Indonesia’s
Silicon Valley within his company’s
hugely ambitious planned
community BSD City. Widjaja’s
pioneering efforts prove that, from
the Internet of Things through to
large-scale smart cities, innovation
in technology has changed the
way companies – and individuals –
approach property development.PERSONALITYREAL ESTATE
