Reports
【Reflection】
"The Business Forum held at the Indonesia Pavilion during
Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai offered a valuable opportunity to focus
on sustainable infrastructure development and economic
transformation in the Riau Islands and West Java regions. In
line with Indonesia’s long-term vision, Indonesia Emas 2045,
the forum showcased strategies aimed at inclusive and
environmentally responsible economic growth, supported by
concrete project examples.
The Riau Islands, benefiting from their status as a free trade
zone, were highlighted for their abundant resources and
strategic role as a logistics hub. A key moment was the
announcement that Japanese company GreenBank Corporation is
investing USD 1 billion in the Wiraraja Green Renewable Energy
& Smart Eco Industrial Park on Galang Island, Riau Islands
– a major milestone in green industrial development. This
investment was formalised through the signing of a Joint
Venture Agreement with Wiraraja Strategix, demonstrating
strong private sector confidence in Indonesia’s renewable
energy potential.
In West Java, detailed presentations on smart city development
and the attraction of high-tech industries underlined the
region’s potential as a new driver of Indonesia’s economic
growth. Notably, initiatives such as industrial zones powered
by renewable energy sources like solar and biomass, and the
adoption of technologies through partnerships with Japanese
companies, were highly praised by participants.
Furthermore, the deepening bilateral cooperation between Japan
and Indonesia raised expectations among investors and
stakeholders for enhanced partnerships. The forum effectively
conveyed the importance of regional economic diversification
and sustainable growth models, offering participants practical
insights. It served as a significant platform for envisioning
the future of bilateral collaboration and regional
development."
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Following the forum, momentum has grown around economic
infrastructure development and investment promotion in the
Riau Islands and West Java. The Indonesian government is
progressing with a private-sector-led financing model while
prioritising smart city development and the attraction of
sustainable energy industries. Concrete project launches and
enhancements to existing infrastructure are steadily
advancing.
Collaboration with Japanese companies continues to deepen, as
evidenced by the initial exploratory steps to establish a
joint venture in the Riau Islands. This synergy is expected to
balance environmental considerations with enhanced economic
value, significantly boosting regional competitiveness.
Moreover, multi-layered partnerships tailored to regional
characteristics are being developed, with domestic and
international investors, local governments, and academic
institutions working together to improve financing efficiency
and project implementation.
Looking ahead, efforts will be further accelerated to
contribute to Indonesia’s sustainable economic development as
a whole, while strengthening economic ties with Japan. It is
anticipated that the outcomes generated from this Expo will
bear fruit within local communities and business activities,
serving as a future-oriented growth model to be widely shared
both domestically and internationally.
