“Making Indonesia 4.0” is a cornerstone policy to transform the nation’s manufacturing sector. It prioritizes five industries - textiles, automotive, electronics, chemicals, and food/beverage - to adopt Industry 4.0 solutions like robotics, IoT, and AI-driven production.

For automotive, Indonesia aims to be a major EV player, supported by local battery supply (nickel) and growing domestic demand. The government provides tax holidays, R&D incentives, and workforce upskilling programs in designated industrial parks (e.g., near Bekasi, Karawang).

European engineering firms can supply advanced machinery, implement digital twins, or partner with local OEMs on next-generation solutions.
