EuroCham convened its annual Consultative Board Meeting on Friday, 26 June 2026, at InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah (an esteemed member of EuroCham), bringing together EuroCham Board Members, Working Group Leaders, and representatives from European Embassies in Indonesia.

The meeting aimed to strengthen EuroCham's role as a leading advocacy platform, supporting European businesses in navigating Indonesia's policy developments, while also providing embassies with private sector perspectives to be carried forward through government-to-government (G2G) channels. This collaboration ensures that business-driven advocacy and diplomatic engagements work in tandem to foster constructive regulatory dialogues. The meeting commenced with welcoming remarks by H.E. Denis Chaibi, Ambassador of the European Union to Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam, followed by opening remarks and presentation by Fabian Kieble, Chairman of EuroCham, highlighting EuroCham's advocacy activities, including through its Working Groups. The meeting concluded with a moderated discussion, providing an opportunity for participants to exchange insights.

EuroCham extends its sincere appreciation to the EU Delegation to Indonesia, representatives from European Embassies, and all attendees for their active participation. We look forward to continued collaboration and engagement in future meetings.

On 23 June 2026, EuroCham Indonesia organized an insightful CEO Briefing on “Indonesia & the EU: Geopolitical & Economic Outlook”, graciously hosted by the EU Delegation to Indonesia at the residence of the Ambassador of the European Union to Indonesia.

We were honored to welcome H.E.

The event was also attended by Ambassadors from EU Member States and their representatives.

The session opened with welcoming remarks from the Vice Chairman of EuroCham Indonesia, Christofer Arisandy (Managing Director of BASF Indonesia, and Business Director for ASEAN and Australia). The discussion explored the impact of current geopolitical developments on Indonesia–EU economic relations, the role of the I-EU CEPA in strengthening business confidence and enhancing supply chain resilience, and the opportunities and expectations for European businesses as we look ahead to CEPA implementation in 2027.
