Carrying the theme “Strengthening Togetherness, Building Synergy, Creating Opportunities,” the event was attended by APINDO South Sumatra leaders, including members of the executive board and various organizational divisions.

Chairman of APINDO South Sumatra Zewwy Salim (Awi) said consolidation is essential to ensure that all members of the organization share a common understanding and a unified approach in carrying out the organization’s programs.

“APINDO is holding this consolidation meeting and leadership gathering as an opportunity to strengthen internal coordination, evaluate ongoing programs, and discuss various issues and challenges facing the business community, particularly those related to business and employment in South Sumatra,” Zewwy said.

He added that APINDO South Sumatra is also promoting stronger business networks, business matching, business support, knowledge sharing, and access to collaboration with various strategic stakeholders.

“Every APINDO program must deliver real benefits to its members and the broader business community. We want this organization to become a common home for businesses—a place where entrepreneurs can collaborate, exchange ideas, and discover new opportunities,” he said.

As part of this vision, APINDO South Sumatra is advancing several strategic programs, including strengthening industrial relations and employment, empowering and digitalizing MSMEs, supporting green investment and local commodities, fostering young entrepreneurship, and strengthening social security protection for businesses and workers.
