Tokyo – The Jakarta Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin DKI Jakarta) has established a strategic collaboration with the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry to elevate Jakarta’s business sector to a more competitive global level.

A meeting held at the Tokyo Chamber’s office resulted in a mutual understanding to open export access for Jakarta’s key products to the Japanese market. The collaboration also aims to strengthen a more integrated global supply chain.

“If we don’t seize the opportunity now, then when? Jakarta’s business community must dare to level up and become global players,” said Diana Dewi, as quoted on Sunday, July 6, 2025.

The partnership is expected to accelerate investment in the creative industry, manufacturing, and green technology sectors. Jakarta-based entrepreneurs are encouraged to take advantage of this initiative to expand their international business networks.

Diana emphasized the importance of courage in facing global competition. She described this collaboration as a concrete step in positioning Jakarta within the global value chain.

“Today, we’re not just talking about opportunities — we’re building real bridges. Jakarta’s business sector must not remain a mere spectator. It’s time to leap forward, integrate with Japan’s business ecosystem, and become an active part of the global value chain,” she asserted.

Kadin DKI Jakarta is optimistic that this collaboration will drive more inclusive regional economic growth. The synergy with Japan is seen as a catalyst for innovation and enhanced competitiveness.
