Jakarta will again host the international investment market on 28 to 30 October 2009, in what it calls JAKVEST 2009. Taking place at the Ritz Carlton Jakarta Pacific Place Level 4, the investment event will feature projects and opportunities in 10 (ten) “hot” sectors from all over Indonesia, despite the name JAK that stands for Jakarta. Indonesia’
“This is the first investment event that gathers investors and project owners in one place at one time on one investment issue per session”, stated Hasan Basri Saleh, Chairman of the Association of Provincial Investment Promotion Agencies that hosts JAKVEST 2009. “This is a new concept of investment forum. Investors are assured to meet companies within the sectors they are interested in, listen to their presentations and deal immediately in the one-on-one meeting facilities that we prepare”, he added.
Indonesia aims to boost infrastructure projects in order to accelerate its economy. Constructions as well as maintenance of roads, building of dams and development of urban water sanitation networks are on number one priority in the majority of its 33 provinces. It is not surprising that bank and finance industry thrive in most cities, giving projects the financing needed. The situation has its own limit though, as government and project owners together demand huge capital. This is where investors could play a significant role as their backbone.
Jakarta equally is a city full of golden opportunities. Its population that reaches almost 10 million is in dire need of capital. It has to develop its network of mass transportation system, integrated infrastructures that are efficient in terms of land use and many other public utilities. With JAKVEST 2009, Jakarta government hopes to find a business partner to build its dream to be equal to world’s other metropolis.
The organizing committee has invited prospective investors with strong commitment from all over Asia, Far East, and Europe although it is expected that more investors will come from the Far East, India and China since they are more likely to have been surviving from last year’s financial crisis. The latter are known to have far more fund to spend and invest elsewhere. At least ten sessions which will last for 2 hours each will discuss the ten “hot” items moderated by government agencies and investment experts. They are part of the panelists that will support and justify project owners and provinces that offer investment opportunities all over Indonesia.
