Head of the West Java Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), Dedi Taufik, stated that WJIS 2025 will be a medium for generating investment commitments for West Java.
"WJIS strengthens West Java's position as the province with the highest investment in Indonesia," said Dedi, during a discussion at Gedung Sate on Monday (November 19, 2025).
"From January to September 2025, the value of investment in West Java reached IDR 218.2 trillion, an 18% increase compared to the same period last year," he added.
According to Dedi, this achievement demonstrates that West Java remains the most attractive region for investors, both domestic and foreign.
"Our investment realization reached 80.5% of this year's target of IDR 271 trillion. Of this total investment, Domestic Investment (PMDN) was worth IDR 119.2 trillion, or 54.7%, while Foreign Investment (PMA) reached IDR 98.9 trillion, or 45.3%. This figure is capable of absorbing up to 303,469 workers," he explained.
Dedi explained that investment is a crucial driver of West Java's economic growth, which in the third quarter of 2025 grew by 5.20%—higher than the national growth of 5.04%.
"Investment's contribution to West Java's economic growth reached 24.6%, the second largest after household consumption," he said.
In this year's WJIS, the West Java Provincial Government is offering 104 investment projects worth IDR 186.29 trillion. consisting of 41 ready-to-offer projects and 63 potential new investments.
"We are targeting all investment interest generated at this forum to be realized within the next three to six months," said Dedi.
Dedi stated that WJIS has become a global brand. Many investors view West Java as a strategic location with strong infrastructure, superior human resources, and strong policy certainty.
He is optimistic that the presence of new investors such as VinFast and Great Giant Pineapple (GGP) in the Rebana Metropolitan area will further strengthen West Java's position as a center for green economic growth and future industries.
