The Australian Minister of Industry and Science, Ed Husic, is visiting Indonesia and Singapore to deepen collaborative strategies for the development of the electric vehicle manufacturing ecosystem. The industry aims to reduce emissions, create jobs, and improve quality of life. The supply chain of the electric vehicle industry includes batteries, charging stations, and energy storage systems. Australia has mining players in the area, which supports the development of battery and electric vehicle ecosystems. Indonesian Automotive Industry Association General Secretary Kukuh Kumara emphasized the importance of cooperation in building production plants in Indonesia to ensure high domestic component levels in products. Australia's investment value ranked 10th in foreign investment during the first semester of 2023, with a total investment value of 251 million US dollars. The Australian exploration of the electric vehicle and battery industries attracts investment in technology development, allowing smelter industry players to increase production efficiency and produce high-quality products. However, researchers from the Transnational Institute emphasize that technology transfer is crucial for the development of the ecosystem, as the industry is dense with high technology.Link di fonte: https://www.kompas.id/baca/ekonomi/2023/07/25/jangan-abaikan-nilai-tambah-bagi-industri-tanah-air (ICE GIACARTA)
