The Indonesia Investment Management Agency, Danantara Indonesia, and
the Indonesia Investment Authority (INA) announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) with French mining company Eramet to explore the establishment of a strategic investment
platform in the nickel sector, spanning upstream to downstream operations.
The signing was witnessed in person by the President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto,
and the President of France Emmanuel Macron, at the State Palace in Jakarta on Wednesday
(28/052025).
This partnership aims to develop a sustainable and integrated electric vehicle (EV) battery raw materials ecosystem in Indonesia. The parties will conduct a preliminary assessment to identify the most suitable project to maximize the potential of the national EV ecosystem, while also preparing a roadmap for future collaboration. In implementing this cooperation, the parties agreed that asset management must not only prioritize efficiency and economic value, but also adhere to strict international standards.
Chief Investment Officer of Danantara Indonesia Pandu Sjahrir, believes that this partnership will
strengthen Indonesia’s position as a global hub in the EV battery supply chain.
Pandu explained that in this partnership, Danantara Indonesia and INA will manage long-term financing
to support investment development, while Eramet will contribute through its technical expertise and
experience in executing large-scale mining projects in line with international sustainability standards.
“This partnership reflects the commitment of all three parties to drive world-class nickel downstream investment in Indonesia, which is one of the key pillars in strengthening the competitiveness of the national industry. This collaboration also integrates global-level technical capabilities in environmentally conscious mining that supports the development of a sustainable industry,” Pandu added.
Chairman of the INA Board of Directors, Ridha Wirakusumah, welcomed the partnership and stated that this initiative is an important step in strengthening Indonesia’s critical minerals supply chain and downstream sector, particularly nickel, in line with INA’s investment focus in the mineral and downstream industries.
“The strategic collaboration between Eramet, Danantara Indonesia, and INA combines technical
excellence and a global track record in sustainable mining management with the design of long-term
financing structures to support industrial growth. This synergy reflects a collective commitment to
building a value-added industrial foundation within the country and attracting high-quality investments
into Indonesia’s strategic sectors,” said Ridha.
Eramet Group Chief Executive Officer Paulo Castellari said “With a long-term commitment in nickel in Indonesia since 2006, Eramet has significantly contributed to the development of Indonesia’s largest nickel deposit over the past years.”
Eramet has been actively present in Indonesia since 2006 through its nickel mining operations in Weda
Bay, Maluku. Demonstrating its continued commitment to sustainable development, the company also marked a milestone in 2024 by partnering with Indonesia’s Geological Agency to initiate studies and exploration of critical minerals—including lithium—as part of its support for the country’s energy transition goals.
“With a clear focus on downstream processing, energy transition, and critical minerals, Danantara
Indonesia and INA’s priorities are well aligned with Eramet’s strategic ambitions in Indonesia. We have
been investigating opportunities to participate in the nickel EV battery value chain in Indonesia and we
welcome today’s initiative. We are ready to contribute through our sustainable mining expertise and
long-term commitment to developing strategic industries in the country”, added Paulo.
