Bekasi Regency has secured its position as one of the highest-potential investment destinations in Indonesia, particularly in the manufacturing sector. The Acting Regent of Bekasi, Dani Ramdan, attributes this recognition to the region's significant investment levels, making it a standout industrial zone with thousands of companies. With thousands of factories and businesses spread across various areas, Kabupaten Bekasi holds the distinction of being the largest industrial zone in Southeast Asia. Dani Ramdan highlighted the region's prominent role by attending the National Investment Coordination Meeting, personally opened by President Joko Widodo on December 11, 2023. The National Investment Coordination Meeting 2023, themed "Just and Sustainable Investment," convened on December 7, 2023, at Balai Kartini, Jakarta. Dani Ramdan stressed that the assessment of investment realization in Kabupaten Bekasi generates a multiplier effect on other sectors.
Sustainable investment considerations prioritize environmental, social, and governance harmony, contributing significantly to the nation's development acceleration. Bekasi Regency has initiated development acceleration, particularly in the licensing aspect. They have proposed the formation of local regulations (Perda) or a Proledga program to establish regulations for investment recovery and capital investment. The aim is to streamline the licensing process for efficiency. Looking ahead, Dani Ramdan expressed hopes for the realization of these initiatives in the coming year, ensuring swift and efficient processing of all licensing requirements. The integration of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) is expected to optimize without compromising supervision and control, fostering a conducive investment climate aligned with policies. In line with President Joko Widodo's vision of transitioning to a green economy, Dani Ramdan revealed Kabupaten Bekasi's commitment to green energy. Encouraging businesses to adopt solar cells as a new venture aligns with the pursuit of renewable energy potential. The government seeks clear scenarios and roadmaps, including funding and investment aspects, to fully capitalize on the opportunities presented by the green economy. Dani Ramdan emphasized the region's shift towards renewable energy, particularly green energy, and the encouragement for businesses to embrace solar cells as a new venture. This effort aligns with the broader vision of transitioning towards a green economy and underscores the potential for significant growth in the renewable energy sector.
