Strengthening China-Indonesia Industry Ties: CIGMA Delegation Visits Leading Indonesian Energy & Electrical Organizations to Explore Industrial Gases Opportunities

JAKARTA, Indonesia— From August 28 to 31, a delegation from the China IG Manufacturers Association (CIGMA), led by President Frank Xu, conducted a four-day working visit to Jakarta to engage with key Indonesian industry stakeholders. During the visit, the delegation met with leadership teams from the Asosiasi Kontraktor Listrik dan Mekanikal Indonesia (AKLI), the Masyarakat Ketenagalistrikan Indonesia (MKI), the Indonesian Renewable Energy Society (METI/IRES), and PT PLN (Persero).

The working visit aimed to establish direct communication channels and foster bilateral exchange between the industrial gasesand clean energy sectors of China and Indonesia.

Throughout the meetings, discussions centered on Indonesia’s ongoing energy transition initiatives, including its national solar development programs and emerging hydrogen ecosystem projects. The parties explored the critical role of industrial gases and cryogenic equipment in supporting solar component manufacturing, green hydrogen generation, storage, and distribution, as well as downstream applications. The CIGMA delegation shared relevant technological practices and operational experience from China’s industrial gasesand energy equipment sectors.

In addition, the delegation presented capabilities from Chinese electrical equipment and industrial gasessupply chains, discussing potential collaboration on technical standards, equipment reliability, and localized project implementation. Representatives from AKLI, MKI, METI, and PLN welcomed the delegation's visit, highlighting the importance of ongoing industry dialogue to facilitate mutual technological understanding and infrastructure support.

Both sides also looked ahead to IG Indonesia 2026, scheduled to take place on November 11–12, 2026, in Jakarta. The upcoming trade exhibition is envisioned as a dedicated platform to advance business connections, technical exchanges, and project partnerships between international solutions providers and Indonesian industry stakeholders.

"This visit has laid a solid foundation for long-term dialogue with Indonesia's premier energy and electrical institutions," stated the CIGMA delegation. "We look forward to serving as an open bridge to facilitate continuous knowledge sharing and practical collaboration in industrial gasesand clean energy applications."
