Corridor synthesis
Karawang is the corridor's most balanced performer with the highest ICS at 71. Strong across automotive, electronics, and logistics, it holds a structural advantage in cluster maturity and port proximity. The primary challenge is managing wage-productivity pressure as the minimum wage grows faster than productivity gains. Strategic focus should remain on attracting EV supply chain and Tier-1 automotive investors while closing the skill gap through structured industry-SMK partnerships.
