Jakarta, August 21, 2025 — As part of the Annual Indonesia Green Industry Summit (AIGIS) 2025, organized by the Ministry of Industry at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) on August 20–22, the Green Talks Panel 4 featured a discussion titled “Pre-Launch of the Green Industry Services Company (GISCO) as a Catalyst for Green Industry Transformation.” The session explored how GISCO, as a newly established service institution, is expected to accelerate the transition toward a green economy in Indonesia.
The discussion was moderated by Adithyani Putri, Program Officer at Climate Imperative, and featured three speakers: Apit Pria Nugraha (Head of the Green Industry Center, Ministry of Industry), Muhammad Ery Wijaya (EUICF Expert, GISCO Project), and Jackie Jiang (Senior Public-Private Partnership Specialist, World Bank).
GISCO as an Accelerator for Green Industry
Apit Pria Nugraha explained that GISCO is designed to serve as an integrated service provider for green industry development in Indonesia.
“GISCO will act as a catalyst that connects government, industry, and international institutions to accelerate the implementation of green industry in Indonesia,” he stated.
He emphasized that GISCO will support companies in accessing services, financing, and green certification.
“With GISCO, we want to ensure that the transformation toward green industry is not just a slogan but can be realized through concrete services,” Apit added.
Technical Perspective and Economic Benefits
Muhammad Ery Wijaya, as a technical expert in the GISCO project, highlighted both the technical aspects and economic potential of this institution.
“GISCO will serve as a one-stop service for industries aiming to transition to green practices. From assessment and technology advisory to financing schemes, all will be facilitated here,” Ery explained.
He further underlined the dual benefits of GISCO.
“Through GISCO, industries are not only reducing emissions but also strengthening their competitiveness in global markets, which increasingly demand green products,” he said.
A Global View: Support from the World Bank
Representing the international perspective, Jackie Jiang of the World Bank stressed the significance of establishing GISCO as a collaborative model.
“Indonesia is taking a progressive step by building an institution like GISCO. This not only supports the domestic transition but also positions Indonesia as a key player in the global green supply chain,” Jackie remarked.
She also noted the role of GISCO in easing access to international green finance.
“With the support of global institutions, GISCO can help Indonesian industries tap into funding and investments that were previously difficult to access,” she explained.
Toward a Structured Green Industry Transition
Moderator Adithyani Putri concluded the session by emphasizing that GISCO represents part of a more structured framework for Indonesia’s green industrial transformation. She noted that the institution is a concrete mechanism to bridge policies, technology, and financing.
Green Talks Panel 4 reaffirmed that the establishment of GISCO is not merely an administrative initiative but a national strategy to accelerate green industry transformation. With cross-sectoral and international collaboration, GISCO is expected to become a key catalyst in realizing Indonesia’s low-carbon economy.
