Event Reports

On July 9, EuroCham Indonesia had the pleasure of holding a meeting between our newly elected Chairman, Pirmin Riegger, and our working group leaders. The meeting served as a vital forum for EuroCham's working group (WG) leaders to introduce themselves to the Chairman and update on their advocacy progress and regulatory hurdles within Indonesia’s evolving legal landscape.

A major recurring theme across sectors was the complexity of mandatory Halal certification, with groups advocating for clearer technical guidelines and international recognition to ease trade barriers. Additionally, the groups emphasized the strategic importance of the I-EU CEPA negotiations. The meeting concluded with a shared goal of enhancing cross-sectoral collaboration to address overlapping issues such as waste management, energy efficiency, and digital policy.

EuroCham extends its sincere appreciation to the Chairman and fellow working group leaders for their active participation in discussing EuroCham’s future. Under this new leadership, we believe that EuroCham can further European business interests and mark more advocacy milestones.

On July 8, EuroCham Indonesia was pleased to attend the Indonesia Risk Forum 2026, “Resilient by Design: Mastering Uncertainty, Protecting Performance,” as part of a collaborative event hosted by Dentons HPRP. The forum brought together legal, economic, and risk management experts to discuss the implications of geopolitical developments, regulatory changes, and Indonesia’s demographic transition, while highlighting practical strategies for strengthening business resilience and protecting long-term performance.

EuroCham extends its sincere gratitude to Dentons HPRP for the kind invitation and for organizing such a timely and insightful event. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions with fellow professionals and stakeholders, and look forward to continued collaboration in supporting a resilient, sustainable, and competitive business environment in Indonesia.
