detikJateng-Jogja Awards 2026 to Be Held This Week: Dates to Note
The detikJateng-Jogja Awards, an event honouring a number of figures, will be held this week, on Friday (23 October). The event will take place at the Nusantara Ballroom in the Batang Industrial Estate Special Economic Zone.
The 2026 awards will not only bring together figures recognised in the various categories, but will also feature a discussion expected to be of significant interest.
The discussion, entitled the ‘Central Java Investment Forum’, will examine Central Java’s potential as Indonesia’s investment gateway. It will cover a range of investment-related issues, particularly those concerning the province.
The event, which will involve public figures, regional leaders and other stakeholders, is themed ‘Central Java, Indonesia’s Investment Gateway: Government, Investor and Industrial Estate Synergy for Sustainable Economic Growth’.
Speakers scheduled to attend include Industry Minister Muhammad Sarmuji, House of Representatives Commission XI chair Mukhamad Misbakhun, and Central Java Governor Ahmad Luthfi. Central Java Police Chief Inspector General Roy Hardi Siahaan will also attend as a guest speaker.
The discussion will explore Central Java’s investment potential, with the province regarded as one of Indonesia’s most promising investment destinations. The Central Java provincial government continues to promote policies aimed at creating a more competitive investment climate.
The province’s appeal to investors is reflected in its 2025 figures: realised investment reached Rp88.50 trillion, 28 per cent higher than the previous year.
Strong investor interest in Central Java also helped absorb around 326,000 workers. Organisers hope the 2026 Central Java Investment Forum at the Batang Industrial Estate Special Economic Zone will strengthen collaboration among the government, investors and industrial estate managers, accelerating investment inflows.
The aim is for Central Java to become not only an attractive investment destination but also a centre of economic growth that creates jobs and strengthens industrial competitiveness.
