Jakarta – Following the signed covenant of Shipbuilding Cluster Indonesia, The Water Agency through our Indonesia Waterhub Manager, Rangga Rishar has started his role as the local liaison for Partner for International Business for Shipbuilding program. This program was initiated by the Dutch Government to assist Dutch companies in market research and business development with the Indonesian shipbuilders.
Background

The objective of PIB Shipbuilding is to position the cooperation in a sustainable way in Indonesia shipbuilding market.
During the Trade Mission on 12th March 2020 in Surabaya, our Waterhub Manager assisted the partners from the Netherlands and Indonesia to visit ITS (Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology) and see firsthand about the development of shipbuilding in Indonesia.
