Downstream for All, Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM Strengthens the Spirit of No One Left Behind

Jakarta, 16 December 2025 - The Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) continues to strengthen its commitment to inclusive economic development through the holding of a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on the Facilitation and Development of Business Entities in the Field of Strategic Investment Downstreaming, as well as Strengthening Cross-Sector Coordination to Increase the Role and Opportunities of Businesses with Disabilities, in Jakarta (16/12).

"Downstream is not only about increasing economic value, but also how investment can be an instrument of empowerment. An inclusive business world is the key to ensuring that no party is left behind in the development process," said Heldy Satrya Putera, Deputy for Strategic Investment Downstream when opening the event.


Special Staff for Improving the Role and Opportunity of Businesses with Disabilities, Agus Diono, conveyed the importance of encouraging the expansion of business empowerment in the field of downstream strategic investment.


"Investment must be able to encourage the involvement of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), including business actors with disabilities, by building a mutually beneficial and value-added partnership model. Collaboration is very necessary, considering that increasing the role and business opportunities of people with disabilities is a cross-cutting issue that requires policy synergy and implementation," Agus explained.


This FGD involved participants from various related ministries/institutions, the Regional Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), academics, and representatives of the community with people with disabilities.


In this activity, there were three main sessions of the FGD that discussed themes related to the role and opportunities of businesses with disabilities in the field of downstream strategic investment. These three topics include:

  1. Access to capital for business actors with disabilities in the context of investment and partnership opportunities in the downstream sector;
  2. Policies, mechanisms, and procedures for implementing partnerships in the field of investment between large enterprises and MSMEs;
  3. Incentives for companies that employ people with disabilities, partner with businesses with disabilities, provide vocational education, and internship programs for people with disabilities as part of real and sustainable economic strengthening.


Strengthening the Spirit of No One Left Behind


Through this FGD, the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM produced several recommendations for concrete steps to encourage the creation of an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable investment ecosystem, including:

  1. Entrepreneurs with disabilities must be positioned as business actors and strategic partners, not the object of the program. Entrepreneurs with disabilities have the right and ability to be directly involved in investment, downstream industry, and business partnerships and need to be given equal access and space.
  2. Access to capital, licensing, and partnerships still needs to be simplified for business actors with disabilities.
  3. Integrated data on business actors with disabilities is the main foundation of impactful policies.
  4. Incentives and supervision must be strengthened, so the business world is truly inclusive. It is necessary to strengthen fiscal and non-fiscal incentives as well as supervision of implementation so that companies are encouraged to hire, partner, and develop businesses with people with disabilities in real terms.
  5. Training, vocational, and ongoing assistance must be strengthened and adjusted to the needs of disabilities.
