That includes PT Telkom (telecommunication company: the headquarters and research center), PT Inti (electronics and telecommunication manufacturer), LEN (National Electronic Institute), Omedata (IC bonding and packaging), PT Dirgantara Indonesia (formerly IPTN, the only aircraft industry in Indonesia), PT Kereta Api Indonesia (state-owned railroad and train production company) and several small local companies.
The main focus of current BHTV initiative is to help small tech companies to start in Bandung.
