ASIATODAY.ID, BERLIN — Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung delivered a keynote address at the opening of the AsiaBerlin Summit 2025, held at the historic Rotes Rathaus on Monday, November 24, 2025.
The annual forum brings together city leaders, investors, policymakers, and technology ecosystems from Europe and Asia to strengthen global innovation partnerships.
His presence also marked an important diplomatic milestone as Jakarta and Berlin celebrate 31 years of their Sister City partnership, established in 1994.
In his remarks, Governor Pramono outlined Jakarta’s ambitious vision for the decade ahead.
“Our goal is to position Jakarta among the world’s top 50 global cities by 2030. This transformation cannot happen in isolation—we need global partnerships, and Berlin is a strategic ally in this journey,” he told the international audience.
He highlighted three core priorities of Jakarta’s urban renewal agenda:
Upgrading public transportation,
Advancing energy transition policies, and
Expanding green public spaces.
Pramono cited ongoing plans to expand the Transjabodetabek metropolitan transport network to seven surrounding regions, scale up Jakarta’s electric bus fleet from 420 units to 10,047 by 2030, and develop 300 new green open spaces across the city.
“We are building a greener, cleaner, and more human-centered city—not only modern in infrastructure but truly sustainable,” he emphasized.
Governor Pramono also brought a delegation of Indonesian startups to showcase the strength of the country’s digital ecosystem.
Among them were:
Crustea, offering IoT solutions for sustainable aquaculture,
Indera Agri, specializing in precision farming, and
Inspigo, a platform developing on-demand AI-powered education.
The initiative reinforces Jakarta’s role in Asia’s innovation landscape.
Pramono stressed that Jakarta is not merely a consumer of global technology, but also a producer of ideas, talent, and innovation from Southeast Asia.
He concluded his speech with a call for deeper collaboration between the two capitals.
“Jakarta and Berlin share common challenges—mobility, climate change, population growth, and inequality. Rather than facing them alone, we can set an example that cities around the world can collaborate to find solutions, not just compete. I invite Berlin to come to Jakarta and build the future together.” (AT Network)
