Indonesia Eyes China Partnerships to Build Industry and Tech ‘Better than the EU Standard’

Indonesia’s sovereign wealth fund Danantara is pursuing Chinese partnerships to accelerate waste‑to‑energy, smart‑grid and data‑centre projects, aiming to exceed European Union environmental standards. The fund highlighted the role of patient capital at the China Conference and the World Economic Forum, emphasizing long‑term ecosystem building across ASEAN. Danantara’s managing director Stefanus Ade Hadiwidjaja and CIO Pandu Patria Sjahrir signaled a win‑win approach that blends Chinese technology with local firms. Hong Kong is positioned as a financial conduit linking mainland China and Southeast Asian markets.
