Kadin Emphasises Global One Health Summit as Platform to Drive Healthcare Industry Growth
Jakarta — Indonesia’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) has emphasised that the Global One Health Summit 2026 represents a strategic momentum for Indonesia to drive the strengthening and growth of the national healthcare industry.
Anindya Bakrie, Chairman of Kadin Indonesia, stated in Jakarta on Monday that the business community is prepared to collaborate with the government in strengthening the national health sector, including through the development of a healthcare industry roadmap expected to deliver significant economic impact.
He disclosed that the organisation held an audience with Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin at the Ministry of Health office in Jakarta on the same day to discuss the formulation of the healthcare industry roadmap ahead of the global health forum.
“We are delighted to collaborate with the Health Minister. Before the One Health Summit, we are also preparing a healthcare industry roadmap. The impact will be extraordinary in creating an economic surprise and supporting the government’s continued growth in this era,” said Bakrie, commonly known as Anin.
The forum, scheduled to be held in Lyon, France on 7 April 2026, will see Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto serve as co-chair alongside French President Emmanuel Macron.
Bakrie views the forum as an important momentum for Indonesia on the global stage whilst opening space for collaboration between government, business, scientists, and non-governmental organisations.
He assessed that the health sector possesses tremendous potential to become one of the new engines of national economic growth. Beyond promoting innovation, the sector is seen as capable of opening investment opportunities and creating new employment.
“I believe this can be a significant collaboration that ultimately brings good standing to Indonesia and economic growth within the country. This adds employment opportunities and is truly a growth industry that many people have overlooked but can now become a mainstay of the economy,” said Bakrie.
Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin viewed President Prabowo’s presence at the forum as capable of opening a new chapter in health diplomacy between Indonesia and France.
“Not only government-to-government relations, but also the business community, scientific community, civil society, and local government will build health diplomacy relations between France and Indonesia supporting the One Health theme,” said Budi.
He added that the involvement of the business community through Kadin is an important factor in maximising the economic benefits of the international cooperation.
Budi also referenced the government’s target to drive national economic growth to 8 per cent, which according to him is often supported in other countries’ experiences by the emergence of new industrial sectors.
“Throughout Indonesian history and world history, every time there has been a leap in GDP growth, there have always been new industrial sectors,” he remarked.
