To accelerate Indonesia's economic recovery, the Indonesian Embassy in London has attracted British and European companies to invest in strategic projects throughout Indonesia. In collaboration with the Indonesia Investment Promotion Centre (IIPC) London, Bank Indonesia London Representative Office, the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Trade, the Indonesian Embassy in London held a series of activities for the Indonesia Investment Forum (IIF) 2021. The activity, which took place on May 27 and 28, virtually brought together Indonesian government officials in the investment sector, project owners in some regions of Indonesia, and potential investors from the UK and Europe. The activities on the first day began with an interactive webinar entitled “Harnessing Momentum of Recovery towards Sustainable Growth.” The event featured Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Minister of Investment / Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Bahlil Lahadalia and Governor of Bank Indonesia, Perry Warjiyo.
The second day of the Forum 2021 was filled with One-on-One Business Matching between potential investors and project owners in the fields of waste management, transportation, infrastructure, manufacturing, water treatment and fisheries. As many as 38 multinational companies from England and Europe had direct meetings with project owners accompanied by the Indonesian Embassy in London, IIPC London, and BI London as well as the Indonesian Representatives where the investors came from. 38-Business matching of the Indonesia Investment Forum 2021 has provided opportunities for potential investors to obtain further information about project potentials, and open opportunities for cooperation and investment realization.
