EU Investment Desk

2024-2025 PERIOD

Strengthening EU–Indonesia Investment Relations

The EU Investment Desk is a strategic initiative established within the Indonesian Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/ Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM). This project is supported by the European Union (EU) through the EU-Indonesia Cooperation Facility (EUICF). It acts as a pivotal bridge to facilitate EU foreign direct investment (FDI) into Indonesia and to strengthen bilateral economic cooperation between the two entities.

Aligned with the EU's Global Gateway strategy, the Desk also aids in implementing the Attraction Plan for EU Investment in Indonesia. This collaborative roadmap, developed by the EU and BKPM, aims to match high-potential sectors with shared policy priorities for a more robust economic partnership.

Our Vision

Our vision is to solidify the EU's position as a key investment partner in Indonesia. To achieve this, we are committed to:

  • Strengthening business linkages between the EU and Indonesia

  • Facilitating informed investment decision-making

  • Showcasing the strengths of EU technology, capital, and expertise in support of Indonesia’s strategic sectors

Together, we aim to cultivate mutual growth, where European investment is pivotal to Indonesia’s economic transformation, while also unlocking high-quality opportunities for EU businesses in one of Asia’s most promising markets.

Our Mission

Our mission is to deepen the economic ties between the EU and Indonesia by:

  • Addressing regulatory and operational barriers to investment

  • Enhancing access to sector-specific intelligence and business opportunities

  • Facilitating sustainable, inclusive investment that aligns with Indonesia’s development goals

 

This mission is consistent with the EU’s broader strategic vision, particularly the Global Gateway initiative, which advocates for high-quality, sustainable investment and global connectivity.

Our Role

Operating at the crossroads of policy, promotion, and facilitation, the Desk focuses on:

  • Supporting market entry and expansion for EU investors in Indonesia

  • Identifying and promoting investment-ready projects (IPROs)

  • Coordinating high-impact investment events and seminars both in Indonesia and Europe

  • Providing policy feedback to Indonesian authorities to help improve the investment climate

Our Services

The EU Investment Desk offers tailored support, including:

  • Guidance on licensing procedures, tax regimes, and sector-specific policies

  • Targeted B2B matchmaking and investment facilitation

  • Proactive investor engagement through data-driven outreach and collaboration with EU chambers of commerce, trade commissioners, and business networks
