Investors See Great Opportunities for Indonesia to Develop Technology Investments
Investors see Indonesia as having great opportunities to develop technology investments.
Shui Hong Yong, Secretary General of Beijing Security, believes Indonesia has significant potential for developing investments in the technology sector. He stated that Indonesia is currently in an attractive growth phase for global investors, including those from China.
“We think that Indonesia is now in a developing phase and companies in China also very much want to be in Indonesia. Here there will be many opportunities that suit us to grow and we hope to be able to grow here,” said Hong to RRI after the business and investment forum at the RRI Building, Jakarta, on Monday, 13 April 2026.
According to him, this interest stems from Indonesia’s market potential and the need for technological development. He believes cooperation can benefit both parties.
Hong revealed that the offered investments focus on technology-based security sectors. The development of smart city infrastructure is one of the main areas of attention.
“We focus on business, especially to carry out work in the security field, for example, building smart cities. Of course, related to city building, to provide security protection,” he said.
“So our proposal is regarding cybersecurity in projects that may involve data centres,” he added. He explained that his organisation brings together various parties to promote joint investments.
“Actually, we are a civil society organisation; I bring together people from my civil society organisation to come here to invest. But this is not my private company; we are not a company, we are an organisation,” he stated.
Hong also welcomed positively Indonesia’s response to the presence of foreign investors at the forum. He hopes the established communication can continue to the stage of concrete cooperation.
Meanwhile, the government emphasises the importance of synergy between foreign investors and local business actors. Collaboration is seen as key to strengthening the national economy.
“Local entrepreneurs should not fear competition with foreign entrepreneurs. Because there are also opportunities to partner, communicate, and other opportunities,” said Deputy for Coordination of Community Security and Order, Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, Inspector General of Police Desman Sujaya Tarigan.
He exemplified large investments like electric vehicle development that can create chain effects for other sectors. These impacts include increasing employment and national energy efficiency.
“Like BYD building electric cars, there are other devices that also run from here. Besides the workforce, including energy with electric cars, reducing savings from subsidies,” said Desman.
According to him, large-scale investments will drive significant economic circulation domestically. He believes strong economic growth will also impact increased security stability.
“Of course this is very related, and also large capital, investments are not small, so economic money circulation. If the economy is good, then security will follow,” he stated.
