The Consul General of the Republic of Indonesia in New York, Winanto\nAdi, said Indonesia has great economic, cultural, and creativity\npotential that needs to be displayed more integrated at the\ninternational level.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis collaboration is the first step to strengthen Indonesia\u2019s\npresence in the United States through various programs that connect\nbusiness actors, investors, creative communities, and the international\ncommunity.

\u201cNew York is one of the most important business and investment\ncenters in the world. Indonesia has many companies that are ready to\ngrow internationally, but still need wider access to global business\nnetworks, investors, and collaboration opportunities. Through the\nIndonesia Center New York, we hope to help bring together these\nopportunities in a more integrated ecosystem,\u201d said Erwin.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndonesia has tremendous creativity, culture, and talent. Through\nthis collaboration, we hope that more Indonesian creative economy\nplayers will gain access to international markets, expand their global\nnetworks, and introduce Indonesia\u2019s best works to the world,\u201d said\nKawendra.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Sandiaga Uno, Advisory Committee vOffice InvestinAsia\nGroup and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the DPP GEKRAFS,\nemphasized that Indonesia needs more platforms that are able to\nintroduce national potential to the global community.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndonesia has great potential as a country with the largest economy\nin Southeast Asia and a member of the G20. However, this potential needs\nto be supported by a stronger presence on the global stage.

In the future, the parties will explore various collaborative\nprograms that include investment promotion, business matching,\ninternational business forums, networking activities, creative economy\ndevelopment, and various other initiatives that support the improvement\nof economic relations between Indonesia and the United States.<\/p>\n
