The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) is working to strengthen Indonesia’s industrial foundation to maintain competitiveness amid global challenges (29/12). Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita said the Strategi Baru Industrialisasi Nasional (SBIN) has been set as the national industrial policy framework to support Indonesia Emas 2045.

“SBIN rests on four main pillars: industrial downstreaming, ecosystem development, technology mastery, and sustainability,” Agus said. Collaboration across stakeholders is emphasized as a key factor to enhance the competitiveness of national industries.

BSKJI Advances Industrial Services and Quality Standards

Within SBIN’s implementation, the Industrial Services and Standardization Agency (BSKJI) plays a strategic role in strengthening the industrial ecosystem. Emmy Suryandari, Head of BSKJI, stated that through 24 technical units under its coordination, the ministry continues to improve service quality and relevance to industrial needs.

“Our services include certification, testing, calibration, proficiency testing, and technical assistance. All these services aim to support higher quality, safety, and competitiveness of national industrial products,” Emmy explained.

The 2025 Industrial Gathering, organized by BBSPJIKB under BSKJI, was held with the theme “Synergy and Collaboration Toward Industrial Independence” (29/12). Around 200 participants joined, including 150 onsite and 50 online attendees, representing government agencies, state-owned enterprises, Bank Indonesia, industry players, academics, associations, and service partners.

In her opening remarks delivered online, Emmy Suryandari reaffirmed BSKJI’s commitment: “BSKJI will continue to ensure that national industrial products meet quality, safety, and sustainable global standards. All our units are encouraged to innovate and adapt to industry needs.”
