CIKARANG – Jababeka Cikarang City is an independent city developed since 1989. Currently, this thousand-hectare area is home to more than 2,000 national and international companies from Japan, Korea, China, and various other countries. With diverse backgrounds and cultures, Jababeka has grown into an inclusive, modern city that serves as home to many expatriates.
“We believe diversity is a strength. This is evident in Jababeka, where people from different backgrounds can live together harmoniously. To celebrate this diversity, this year, Jababeka is hosting Jababeka Go Asia: The 7th Asian Dragon & Lion Dance Championship,” said a company representative.
