The ministry's director general of resilience, regions, and international industry access, Eko Cahyanto, stated that the strategies include implementation of the green economy, the downstreaming program, and improving the quality of human resources.
"First, the government is focusing on implementing a green and circular economy to enable sustainable industrial production," he remarked here on Monday.
Cahyanto spoke at the 11th Annual US-Indonesia Investment Summit, themed "Mapping the Legacy, Navigating the Future," organized by the United States Chamber of Commerce.
"Second, we emphasize efforts on strengthening basic industries and domestic value chains that still have great potential to be enhanced," he remarked.
The government is continuing the downstream policy in order to explore further the industrial sector, especially the mining, agro, and maritime sectors as the main focus.
He remarked that the government is also increasing the complexity of industrial products through research, innovation, collaboration, and technological adoption.
In addition, Indonesia strives to boost production by increasing skilled human resources and bolstering logistics connectivity and infrastructure.
"The government also keeps integrating the industrial supporting ecosystem through financing ecosystem, tax reformation, and improving standard infrastructure," he stated.
He said that the strategies align with the national vision of becoming a strong and highly competitive industrial country that is based on innovation and technology.
"There are 10 priority industries, including the basic metal industry and capital goods industry, and mainstay sectors, such as the food industry and transportation machinery industry," he remarked.
Cahyanto noted that the Indonesian government is focusing on strengthening industries as part of securing both domestic and foreign investment.
