Industrial Policy Lab Indonesia is a think tank focused on advancing Indonesia’s reindustrialization agenda.
We believe that a prosperous, green, and sovereign Indonesia can only be built on a strong industrial foundation: an industrial Indonesia.
The Challenge of Premature Deindustrialization
Since the start of the millennium, Indonesia's industrial base has steadily thinned, weakening the country's capacity to generate decent jobs and durable sources of growth. Conversely, Indonesia has increasingly relied on the export of commodities to drive growth.
While this model has delivered windfalls during boom years, it is becoming less reliable in a world shaped by decarbonization imperatives and intensified geopolitical competition.
PICTURE FROM: WIKIPEDIA COMMONS
Sustainable reindustrialization is central to addressing the three critical challenges facing Indonesia.
Three Strategic Imperatives
Economic Development
Creating decent jobs at scale and stimulating prosperity through productive employment and rising real incomes.
Climate Crisis
Developing the industrial foundations for Indonesia to meet its net-zero commitments and capture competitive advantage in the low-carbon economy.
Geopolitical Resilience
Maintaining Indonesia's sovereignty in economic decision-making and developing supply chain resilience amid growing geopolitical tensions.
