In the context of global political uncertainty and rapid changes in international markets, ASEAN’s manufacturing sector is being driven to pursue structural transformation through digital transformation (DX) and green transformation (GX) in response to increasing pressure from business partners to reduce costs and greenhouse gas emissions. To address these challenges, developing practical, industry-ready human resources has become a top priority for the sector.

The Membership Affairs Committee, in collaboration with Association for Overseas Technical Cooperation and Sustainable Partnerships (AOTS), will organize the ASEAN-Japan Human Resource Development Forum themed: “Advancing Indonesia’s manufacturing industry through public-private collaboration for GX & DX talent development”.

The forum will bring together government officials, industry leaders, companies, and educational institutions from ASEAN and Japan to discuss:

• Future directions for the manufacturing industry in ASEAN and Indonesia
• Talent development strategies aligned with industry needs
• Practical case studies from Indonesia on industry-academia collaboration

📌 Event details:

• Time: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM, May 19, 2026 (Indonesia time)
• Format: Online
• Participation fee: Free of charge
