The President of the Federal Republic of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier came to Indonesia to attend several agendas related to the development of industrial cooperation between Germany and Indonesia, including terms of eloping digitalization, infrastructure, and sustainability.
“President Steinmeier visited the Indonesian Digital Industry Center (PIDI 4.0) for two agendas. First, attending the German-Indonesia Business Round Table and reviewing PIDI 4.0, namely the development facility for the implementation of Industry 4.0 built by the Ministry of Industry,” Agus said in his statement, Thursday (16/6/2022).
The meeting discussed opportunities for cooperation, especially in the industrial sector. This is because the opportunities for cooperation in the manufacturing sector that can be developed by Indonesia and Germany include the semiconductor industry, vaccine production, and industrial 4.0 development.
In the semiconductor industry, investment opportunities are created because Indonesia is a market for electronics and finished electronics products. Furthermore, human resources, as well as natural resources in Indonesia, are grepotentialals for the development of the semiconductor industry. In the vaccine production industry, there are pharmaceutical companies, including PT Bio Farma (Persero) and PT Biotis Pharmaceutical Indonesia, which are vaccine manufacturers in Indonesia.
In terms of the development of industry 4.0, during the holding of the largest industrial exhibition Hannover Messe 2022 some time ago, an MoU was signed between the Ministry of Industry and the Deutsche Messe Technology Academy (DMTA) in the field of industrial HR development and industrial transformation 4.0.
In 2023, Indonesia will again become a partner country for the Hannover Messe 2023, after in 2021 it will also become a partner country: Digital Edition. The role of Indonesia as a partner country for the Hannover Messe 2023 is to increase cooperation between Indonesia and Germany, as well as Indonesia’s nation branding as one of the world’s economic powers and a global manufacturing player.
