From February 5-7, 2025, EuroCham Indonesia supported the EU-ASEAN Business Council Mission Trip to Indonesia, facilitating engagements with key ministries and stakeholders. The mission aimed to convey European business interests, share best practices, and support Indonesia in enhancing its ease of doing business—an essential step toward achieving the new administration’s ambitious 8% economic growth target.

European businesses reaffirmed their commitment to investing in Indonesia’s economic development. Over three days of intensive meetings, EuroCham Board Members and Working Group Heads actively engaged with government representatives, advocating for European business interests and strengthening collaboration between the government and EuroCham Indonesia as the unified voice of European business in the country.

EuroCham Indonesia was represented by Board Members Christofer Arisandy (Vice Chairman), Alexander Grenz (Board Treasurer), Nurdiana Darus, and Evie Yulin, alongside Working Group Heads Jørgen Enger Fjellin (ICTIP Working Group), Thomas Wagner (Energy Working Group), and Omar Abdulkadir (Finance, Tax, and Investment Working Group), as well as Executive Director Edison Bako.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the EU-ASEAN Business Council (Jens Ruebbert, Chris Humphrey, Jenniefer Setiawan, Annabel Yeoh) for organizing such an insightful and impactful mission trip, further strengthening business ties and cooperation between European investors and Indonesia.

On February 4th, EuroCham had the privilege of having a roundtable discussion with the EU Delegation that was led by Diana Acconcia (Director for International Affairs and Climate Finance, Directorate-General for Climate Action, European Commission).

The discussion explored the opportunities and challenges of the green transition for European companies in Indonesia, with insights on EU climate policies, carbon pricing, and the European Green Deal. EuroCham members shared their insights and inputs on these key issues.

We would like to thank the EU Delegation and Diana Acconcia for their time and for engaging in a constructive discussion with us.
