EU-Indonesia Business Dialogue 2018
Circular Economy:
Maximizing Business through Sustainable Practices
The 8th EU-Indonesia Business Dialogue (EIBD) will be held in Jakarta on October 25, 2018.
The EU – Indonesia Business Dialogue (EIBD) is an annual forum of private business and government representatives. Business communities and business leaders are invited to take an active part in a constructive dialogue with Indonesian and the EU representatives. It was first launched back in 2009 in Brussels as an initiative of the EU and Government of Indonesia. The 8th EIBD will be held in Jakarta on 25 October 2018 and dedicated to “Circular Economy: Maximizing Business through Sustainable Practices”.
This year, the EIBD will discuss Circular Economy. Unlike the previous years, where the EIBD discussed government regulatory and policy priorities, this year, the EIBD will showcase economic models that could change how business operates. Circular economy is a breakthrough approach that aims to replace the current linear economy model (where products or goods end up as waste), with a cascade of upcycling and recycling fueled by connectivity between consumers/producers, cross-sectors supply chains, waste management, resources and energy efficiency. As economy grows, utilization of resources may result in scarcity of resources and proliferation of landfills or marine litter which could can further deteriorate our environment. Therefore, the 2018 EIBD will illustrate how circular economy model could become an alternative to address the aforementioned issues and also offer new opportunities for business, create new market, as well as gain competitive advantages for companies.
EuroCham will continue to organize the EIBD in collaboration with KADIN Indonesia and APINDO (Asosiasi Pengusaha Indonesia, The Employers' Association of Indonesia), and with the support of EIBN, the European Bilateral Chambers and civil society organizations.
Participation is open to Indonesian and European companies.
