Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 Achmad Ardianto, MIND ID\u2019s Director of Downstream\nStrategy and Operations, said technology development and strategic\npartnerships were vital foundations for strengthening the mineral\ndownstreaming ecosystem. The aim is to increase the added value of\nnatural resources, strengthen national industrial capabilities and\nensure products are developed in line with domestic and global market\nneeds.<\/p>\n
Ardianto said downstreaming projects must take future market demand\ninto account. Industrial strategy should therefore be based not only on\nnatural resource potential and processing capacity, but also on the\noutlook for product demand.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat matters is that the strategic standards we set are\nfuture-oriented. That means aligning them with the needs of markets and\nsociety in the years ahead, both globally and nationally,\u201d Achmad said\nin a statement in Jakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
In line with this approach, MIND ID is strengthening the foundations\nof downstreaming through four areas: the resilience of reserves and\nresources; the development of value-added downstream industries; the\nestablishment of centres of excellence for projects and operations; and\nthe adoption of adaptable, innovative technologies.<\/p>\n
These four areas form part of efforts to build sustainable industrial\ncapabilities that are ready to meet future needs.<\/p>\n
Capabilities are also being strengthened through strategic\npartnerships with global companies, providing access to technology,\nknowledge exchange and workforce development to enable employees to\noperate the technologies.<\/p>\n
This approach is reflected in technology development partnerships\nbetween ANTAM and INALUM and Chalieco, as well as the Indonesia Growth\nProject (IGP), developed by PT Vale Indonesia with strategic partners in\nthe nickel-processing ecosystem.<\/p>\n
Alongside strengthening technological capabilities, MIND ID is\nexploring investments and strategic partnerships in various countries,\nincluding in Africa, the Middle East and South America, to broaden\naccess to new mineral resources.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is part of our efforts to secure mineral supplies to support\nthe needs of future industries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
By strengthening technology, strategic partnerships and access to\nmineral resources, MIND ID is promoting downstreaming that not only\nincreases processing capacity but also creates added value and enhances\nthe competitiveness of national industry.<\/p>\n
An approach oriented towards market needs is an important part of\nbuilding a sustainable Indonesian minerals ecosystem capable of playing\na role in global industrial supply chains.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Danantara Indonesia Chief Technology Officer and DTIIF\n2026 chairman Sigit Puji Santosa stressed that technology cooperation\nmust produce innovations that can be applied directly in industry.<\/p>\n
He said collaboration must not end with the signing of a memorandum\nof understanding (MoU), but should lead to concrete projects that\ndeliver an impact for industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Danantara, we are building cooperation to drive innovation that\ncan be implemented directly in industry. In this way, we will not merely\nadopt what others have done, but also become pioneers in innovation. We\nwill not stop at MoUs; we will follow them up with concrete projects\nthat can be carried out promptly and demonstrate a real impact,\u201d Sigit\nsaid.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/mind-id-strengthens-technology-and-strategic-partnerships-to-advance-downstream-processing-1793721215", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
