JAKARTA, June 4, 2025 — As the world accelerates toward green technologies and digital transformation, the demand for critical minerals—including tin—has reached unprecedented levels. Tin, often overshadowed by more publicized materials, is essential for electronics, energy storage, and emerging innovations like electric vehicles and smart infrastructure. Indonesia, the world’s second-largest tin producer, stands at the forefront of this global shift.

Indonesia’s tin industry continues to play a pivotal role in the global critical minerals race, underpinning the world’s shift to green technologies and digital economies. Tin is vital for electronics, batteries, and renewable energy, with global demand projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.5–3.0% through 2030 (ITA, 2023).

On Day 2 of the Indonesia Critical Minerals Conference & Expo (ICM) 2025, Tunas’s Head of Business Development, Chrispin Andereas, had the privilege of joining a panel discussion on the role of Southeast Asia’s tin industry in the Belt and Road Initiative. He highlighted how Batam, as a Free Trade Zone with a mature electronics manufacturing ecosystem and close proximity to Indonesia’s tin-rich Bangka region, is well positioned to support the downstreaming of tin into high-value applications. Tin-based materials are increasingly essential in semiconductors, AI computing hardware, and data centers—and Batam offers a unique platform to bridge tin resource processing with global electronics supply chains.

As critical minerals drive the global green economy, Indonesia’s tin sector stands ready to lead with the right investments in ESG, innovation, and infrastructure. Tunas Industrial is dedicated to fostering integrated mineral processing and value-added industries, strengthening communities, and driving sustainable economic growth through strategic partnerships and responsible practices.

Batam, 2 June 2025 — BP Batam, through its Deputy for Investment and Business Development, Fary Djemy Francis, is intensifying synergy and collaboration with Batam’s industrial estates to foster seamless investment processes and inclusive economic growth.

During a working visit to Tunas Prima Industrial Estate, Fary emphasized BP Batam’s new proactive approach in addressing investment-related challenges. “President Prabowo’s directive is clear: BP Batam must be present on the ground, engage directly with businesses, and resolve issues on-site,” he stated.

This hands-on approach has already proven effective in accelerating services for investors. During the visit, BP Batam listened to concerns from several tenants in Tunas Prima—including pending business permits—and successfully resolved the issues on-site in under two hours through swift coordination.

Chrispin Andereas, Head of Business Development at Tunas Industrial, praised BP Batam’s prompt response. “We greatly appreciate BP Batam’s more proactive working style. Several investment challenges we and our tenants faced were resolved quickly, and other concerns have been noted for immediate follow-up,” he said.

BP Batam also shared its strategy to develop priority infrastructure projects across Batam, introducing two key innovations: the Investment Envoy program and the Business Complaint Digital Dashboard. These initiatives are designed to improve transparency and ensure efficient, measurable, and responsive resolution of investment challenges. This aligns with President Prabowo’s directive to achieve economic growth in Batam at least 2% above the national average annually.

Collaboration between BP Batam and industrial estate operators is essential to foster a healthy investment climate, support Batam’s economic growth, and ensure ease of doing business for both local and international investors.

With robust infrastructure and business services, Tunas Industrial remains a leading hub for investment growth in Batam. Its three ongoing industrial park projects—Tunas Batam Center (64 hectares), Tunas Kabil (30 hectares), and Tunas Prima (100 hectares)—are being developed with a focus on green sustainability since 2023.

As a strategic partner of the Batam government, Tunas Industrial is committed to supporting the investment climate by developing modern, integrated, environmentally friendly, and sustainable industrial estates.
