Sixteen priority investment projects with a total investment value of Rp24.6 trillion, or about US$1.49 billion, were offered at West Java Investment Roadshow (WJIR) 2025 held at the Krakatau Ballroom located within one of the floors owned by PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten (Bank BJB) in PT Sadini Arianda's T-Tower in South Jakarta Administrative City, Jakarta Special Capital Region (DKI).

The priority investment projects, including ones in the agribusiness, urban infrastructure, energy, and development areas sectors, received a positive response from potential investors.

"Investor enthusiasm is reflected in the signing of 27 letters of intent (LOIs) as an initial commitment to exploring investment opportunities in West Java," said West Java Province Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP) Dedi Taufik on Sep. 24, 2025.

Dedi stated that the WJIR 2025 roadshow, which had "Steps Forward for West Java's Future: Invest in Integrated Agribusiness, Urban Infrastructure, and Mobility Solutions" as its theme, was part of a series of events leading up to the 7th West Java Investment Summit (WJIS) that will take place in November 2025.

He added that the roadshow served as a strategic forum bringing together representatives from the central and regional governments, banks, international financial institutions, diplomatic representatives, and national and global investors to explore investment opportunities in West Java.

In addition to plenary sessions, the event will also feature one-on-one meetings and networking sessions connecting investors with the district/city governments holding projects. Dedi also emphasized that the 3rd edition of WJIR is both a promotional forum and a manifestation of the West Java Provincial Government's commitment to accelerate investment realization.

"We want to ensure that West Java is not only rich in potential, but also ready with clear regulations, attractive incentives, and full support from the entire ecosystem," he said.

The West Java Provincial Government, Bank Indonesia (BI), and Bank BJB ensured that investors would have easy access to information, assistance, and financing facilities. This synergy is expected to strengthen investor confidence for investing in West Java.

The event was attended by diplomatic representatives from the United Arab Emirates, Sweden, Korea, Australia, Japan, Singapore, and other countries, as well as international institutions such as the British Chamber of Commerce (BritCham), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Agence Française de Développement (AFD), and the Islamic Development Bank.

Also in attendance were representatives from business associations such as Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (HIPMI), as well as representatives from state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and national banks.

In addition, the attendance of multinational investors such as PT Heinz ABC Indonesia, PT Siemens Mobility Indonesia, China Energy Engineering, Enterprise Singapore, China State Construction, and the Singapore Business Federation demonstrates the high global interest in West Java as a leading investment destination in Indonesia.

"Through collaboration between the government, financial institutions, and the business world, WJIR 2025 is expected to open a new chapter in West Java's development—creating jobs, increasing added value, and bringing more equitable prosperity to the community," he said.
