# Nusantara: Building the Future Capital of Indonesia
Nusantara, the official name for Indonesia’s future capital, represents a transformative vision for the nation. Slated for formal inauguration in August 2024 to coincide with Indonesia’s Independence Day, the city is designed to transition the country away from Jakarta, which has served as the capital since 1945. This ambitious move is a cornerstone of the "Indonesia Vision 2045," aiming to elevate the nation to the status of a developed country. By shifting the focus toward an Indonesia-centric development model, Nusantara will serve as a catalyst for economic transformation and national growth.
