【Reflection】
This programme focused on “The Future of Green Investment for Sustainable Growth and a Circular Economy”, providing a comprehensive introduction to the potential and investment environment of Central Java Province.
At the outset, the province’s population scale, market potential and strategic geographic position were outlined, highlighting its diverse opportunities for business. The development status of infrastructure—including international airports in Semarang and Surakarta, seaports, railways, and electricity and telecommunications networks—was also presented, underscoring the province’s strengths in manufacturing and logistics.
In the section on Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and industrial estates, specific initiatives within key hubs such as the Batang SEZ and the Wijaya Kusuma Industrial Estate were introduced. These included examples of multinational companies already operating in the region and contributing to job creation and local industrial development. Renewable energy initiatives, including solar, micro-hydro and geothermal power, as well as the use of refuse-derived fuel (RDF), were also showcased, clearly demonstrating the province’s active efforts towards sustainability.
During the Q&A session, participants, including Japanese companies, raised concrete questions regarding investment returns and licensing procedures. Responses to these questions helped clarify operational transparency and available support mechanisms, indicating the high level of interest among attendees.
Overall, the programme served as a platform where Central Java Province clearly demonstrated its commitment to balancing economic growth with environmental conservation, while expanding opportunities for international collaboration.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Following the programme, Central Java Province has continued to advance initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable investment. For the individual investment proposals and projects presented during the forum, one-to-one consultations have been held with participating companies, helping to identify priority areas and specific technology needs.
At the Batang SEZ, improvements are underway to strengthen logistics functions and enhance support systems for incoming companies, including better tax incentives and more streamlined licensing procedures. Collaboration with a major battery manufacturer is also progressing towards establishing a new research and development facility, contributing to technological innovation in the green energy sector.
At the Wijaya Kusuma Industrial Estate, further expansion of solar power installation plans is being considered, alongside enhanced environmental measures such as additional wastewater treatment facilities and the increased use of recycled water.
The provincial government is also working with local universities and research institutes to reinforce human resource development and industry–academia collaboration.
