Jakarta Provincial Government through One-Stop Investment and Integrated Services Agency (PMPTSP) holds Jakarta Investment Festival (JIF) 2025. JIF is an annual strategic event aimed at attracting investment and strengthening Jakarta's position as a regional economic growth center.

This year's JIF carries the theme 'Jakarta the Epicentrum of ASEAN: Invest Smart for a Global Start', as a reflection of the spirit of making Jakarta the main gateway for international investment in the Southeast Asian region.

Deputy Head of Jakarta PMPTSP Agency, Muhammad Herizkianto, said the JIF 2025 theme is chosen to emphasize Jakarta's position as a global city at the heart of ASEAN, as well as to foster a smart investment ecosystem through the SMART concept: Sustainable, Mutual Collaboration, Adding Value, Research and Database, and Tech and Innovation Oriented.

"We are promoting this Smart Investment concept to create significant added value for city development. 2025 is a crucial year in Jakarta's journey toward global city status by 2030," he said, Thursday (7/24).

He added that the Jakarta International Forum serves as a platform for strengthening strategic partnerships with local and global investors. The Jakarta Provincial Government is offering 31 collaborative projects from regionally-owned enterprises (BUMD) and regional public service agencies (BLUDs) across the transportation, clean water and waste management, property, tourism, telecommunications, circular economy, and regional development sectors such as Grogol Petamburan, Kebayoran Baru, and the Ragunan Camping Grounds.

"JIF 2025 is an opportunity for collaboration to present concrete and impactful projects ," he added.

Meanwhile, Head Unit of Jakarta Investment Center Management, Tona Hutauruk, explained JIF 2025 will last for more than two months, from July to October, with a total of eight main activities held periodically.

Activities kicked off on July 24 with the JIF Networking Night as an opening event that brought together stakeholders, investors, and development partners.

Furthermore, the JIF series will present agendas such as JIF Talks, JIF Podcast, JIF Exhibition, JIF Pitch, JIF Class, as well as international collaborations with the British Embassy and the London School of Economics.

"One of this year's innovations is JIF-Pitch, a reverse pitch platform where investors present their investment interests and schemes to project owners. This provides a new and more open approach to building understanding between investors and project owners," he explained.

The JIF Summit will peak on October 9, 2025, and will feature plenary and thematic discussions covering topics such as urban diplomacy, the use of AI and big data for city development, and the development of the creative industry.

He added that the total investment value offered at JIF 2025 reaches approximately Rp 430 trillion, and all projects are ready to offer.

"JIF 2025 is not just an investment festival, but a long-term strategy to transform Jakarta into a business and innovation hub in Southeast Asia," he stated.
