Maluku Province Partners with Kadin to Strengthen SMEs and Investment

Pemerintah Provinsi Maluku's strategic partnership with Kamar Dagang dan Industri (Kadin) Indonesia marks a pivotal moment for our region's economic revitalization. By joining forces, we aim to significantly empower our Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) and vigorously promote investment, thereby unlocking the immense potential that Maluku holds.

Potensi ini harus didukung dengan penguatan investasi dan pemberdayaan UMKM agar memberikan dampak nyata bagi pertumbuhan ekonomi dan kesejahteraan masyarakat.

Gubernur Maluku Hendrik Lewerissa rightly emphasized that our province is blessed with abundant potential in key sectors such as marine resources, fisheries, tourism, and energy. However, realizing this potential requires more than just natural endowments; it demands robust collaboration between the government and the business community, with Kadin playing a crucial role as our partner. As the Governor stated, "This potential must be supported by strengthening investment and empowering UMKM so that it has a real impact on economic growth and community welfare."

UMKM are indeed the backbone of our economy, providing substantial employment opportunities. Kadin's role as a motor for helping these businesses "naik kelas" (move up a class) and become more competitive is invaluable. Simultaneously, the Provincial Government is unwavering in its commitment to fostering an investment climate that is not only conducive but also transparent and inclusive. We welcome investors, but we insist that their ventures must bring tangible benefits to our people, create jobs, and drive sustainable economic growth.

Sebagian besar pelaku usaha di Indonesia berasal dari sektor UMKM.

From our perspective in Maluku, this collaboration is particularly exciting because it directly addresses our unique challenges and opportunities as an archipelago. The emphasis on developing strategic infrastructure, such as integrated port areas, is critical for enhancing logistical efficiency and regional competitiveness. As Governor Lewerissa aptly put it, "If other regions can advance, then Maluku can certainly advance. The key is cooperation, hard work, and a shared commitment to seeing opportunities amidst challenges."

“

Kami membuka ruang seluas-luasnya bagi investor, namun investasi yang masuk harus memberikan manfaat nyata bagi masyarakat, menciptakan lapangan kerja, dan mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi yang berkelanjutan.

We believe that through this synergy between the provincial government and Kadin Maluku, we can build a stronger, more prosperous Maluku. This partnership is not just about economic figures; it's about improving the lives of our people and showcasing the vibrant potential of our beautiful province to the world.

Sebagai daerah kepulauan, Maluku membutuhkan infrastruktur logistik yang kuat. Pengembangan pelabuhan terpadu akan menjadi kunci dalam meningkatkan efisiensi distribusi dan daya saing daerah.
