West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil was one of the keynote speakers at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hilton, Los Angeles, California on Monday, May 1, 2023.
The conference was attended by several renowned personalities, including Faisal Alibrahim, the Minister of Economy and Planning of Saudi Arabia, Elevandi Pat Patel, the Executive Director, and Peter Pernot-Day, the Head of Strategy and Global SHEIN Enterprises.
The session entitled “A Roadmap to Rejuvenation: Rewiring the World Economy | Part 2: Globalization 2.0: New Paradigms in Innovation and Integration” focused on new paradigms in innovation and integration that can help the world economy recover.
As the Chair of the Association of Regional Governments Producing Oil and Gas and Renewable Energy (ADPMET), Ridwan Kamil explained that West Java is home to 60 percent of industry in Indonesia and has the largest reserves of renewable energy, intellectual human resources, and excellent bureaucracy.
“We have prepared a plan to deal with global disturbances and megatrends. We believe now is the time for local products to circulate in the global market. That way, products and human resources will be easier to manage, opening up job opportunities and a better bargaining position,” said the Governor, who is often called Kang Emil. Kang Emil also emphasized his vision in creating a livable and sustainable future for West Java.
