The event aimed to strengthen economic ties between Indonesia and Malaysia by showcasing investment opportunities, fostering partnerships, and encouraging networking between Indonesian businesses and Malaysian investors. Kedah, with its growing investments in agriculture technology, food processing, and packaging, provided a perfect setting for the forum. The event featured panel discussions on the downstream industry, investment opportunities in the Nusantara New Capital, and the Batang Integrated Industrial Estate.

In his keynote speech, Saribua Siahaan, Director of Investment Promotion for Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific, highlighted how downstream investment could transform raw material exporters into competitive producers of value-added goods.

Mr. Siahaan also mentioned the investment potential in Nusantara New Capital and the Batang Integrated Industrial Estate, noting their opportunities in renewable energy, infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and downstream industries, with strategic collaboration offering significant prospects for economic growth and job creation.

On this occasion, US Pizza, the 3rd largest fast-food chain in Malaysia, signed an Investment Announcement as a form of its commitment to invest in Indonesia.
