  • The JS-SEZ will cover over 3,500 sq km, significantly larger than Singapore, and aims to be a model for Southeast Asia's economic potential.
  • In addition to manufacturing, the zone will target logistics, tourism, financial services, and various other key sectors.
  • Aiming for 100 projects in the first decade, the JS-SEZ plans to create approximately 20,000 skilled jobs.
  • Challenges remain regarding infrastructure and bureaucracy, especially in managing increased commuter traffic from the new rapid transit system.
