Netherlands to Invest US$300 Million in Indonesia, Kadin Says

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesia will welcome 120 companies from the Netherlands on June 16, 2025. The chair of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), Anindya Novyan Bakrie, mentioned that they are bringing trade and investment missions to Indonesia.

Anindya stated that these investors will not only visit Jakarta. "These 120 companies will be divided, some will go to Medan, Semarang, and Makassar, depending on the agenda," he said in a written statement on Monday, June 9, 2025.

The plan was revealed after Anindya hosted a visit from the Netherlands' Ambassador to Indonesia, Timor Leste, and ASEAN, Marc Gerritsen, at The Convergence Indonesia in the Epicentrum area, Kuningan, today.

In the forum, it was revealed that the delegates will focus on three main sectors, namely food security, maritime affairs, and water management.

In addition to these priority sectors, Anindya mentioned that they also discussed national programs such as the free nutritious meals and affordable housing programs. The delegates also discuss the potential for workforce cooperation, including sailors and workers in the healthcare sector.

Anindya hopes that the visit will not only result in trade partnerships but also investments from the Dutch institution, Invest International.

"They intend to focus US$300 million on Indonesia to initiate long-term businesses. It seems like a concrete plan from their government," he said.

The Netherlands is the largest EU investor in Indonesia, with contributions reaching 46 percent of the total European investments. "It's not only due to good relations, but also significant economically."

Meanwhile, Ambassador Marc Gerritsen stated that the US$300 million investment mentioned by Anindya has been dedicated through the Invest International institution. The fund will be used to finance long-term and sustainable business projects in various priority sectors.

Gerritsen said the Dutch Embassy will do their best to "connect partners from both countries" to achieve Indonesia's development goals.
