As part of the Road to the International Battery Summit (IBS) 2026, Prof. Evvy Kartini was invited by AHK Indonesia / EKONID (The German-Indonesian Chamber of Industry and Commerce) to speak at Business Talk: Indonesia and Germany — Opportunity for a Deeper Partnership.
During the forum, she shared strategic insights on the rapid growth of Indonesia’s battery industry and highlighted the importance of stronger bilateral collaboration in accelerating the global energy transition.
Prof. Evvy emphasized that the journey toward energy independence cannot be achieved alone. With Indonesia’s abundant critical mineral resources and Germany’s advanced technology and industrial expertise, both countries have a unique opportunity to build a resilient and competitive battery ecosystem.
The discussion also underscored the role of international partnerships in driving innovation, strengthening supply chains, and creating sustainable industrial value that benefits both nations.
As the Road to IBS 2026 continues, engagements such as this reinforce Indonesia’s commitment to becoming a key player in the global battery value chain and to fostering meaningful collaboration with international partners in shaping the future of clean energy.
