UAE’s Resources Investment Signs Landmark Deal to Launch Investment Holding Company in Indonesia

JAKARTA, Thursday, July 24, 2025 — UAE-based Resources Investment Limited has signed a landmark memorandum of understanding with an Indonesian partner to launch a new investment holding company aimed at advancing high-impact projects across Indonesia’s strategic sectors.

The company, which will be co-managed by the two parties, is designed to serve as a dedicated investment platform for mobilizing capital, facilitating technology transfer, and aligning with Indonesia’s regulatory and development priorities. The initiative’s first focus will be on renewable energy, starting with a 50-megawatt solar power plant. Expansion to 100 megawatts and beyond is already in the pipeline, targeting industrial parks to support Indonesia’s energy transition goals.

The agreement was co-initiated by Gamma Thohir, who emphasized Indonesia’s readiness to drive green innovation in partnership with global investors.

 “Indonesia is ready to lead. We are not just welcoming investment—we are co-designing it,” said Gamma Thohir. “Through innovation, local insight, and a clear national direction, we will accelerate the green energy transition at scale. This partnership is a signal that Indonesia is serious, prepared, and uniquely positioned to turn vision into impact.”

Broad Investment Scope

Beyond energy, the holding company is expected to invest in digital infrastructure and essential community services, including public kitchens and rural internet networks—sectors that support Indonesia’s inclusive growth ambitions.

Ali Alshimmari, Director of Resources Investment Limited, highlighted the long-term vision underpinning the partnership.

“This agreement is not just a step forward—it is a leap toward a shared future,” said Alshimmari. “We are bringing not only capital, but conviction, capability, and commitment.”

The holding company will operate with a decentralized structure, with sector-specific operating entities managing individual investments. A phased investment model will be implemented, with funding decisions subject to rigorous due diligence and joint approvals.

Zagy Berian, the Indonesian co-partner in the venture, described the partnership as a high-momentum vehicle for sustainable development.

“We are determined to move fast, smart, and with purpose,” Berian said. “This collaboration is built on mutual ambition—we believe that our projects will set new benchmarks for innovation, impact, and speed.”

Strategic Platform for National Goals

The creation of the holding company reflects a growing convergence between Indonesia’s development objectives and global investment interest, particularly in sectors aligned with ESG (environmental, social, governance) principles. The partners plan to scale projects rapidly, aligning with national priorities while adopting international standards in execution and governance.
