US-German Consortium to Launch Semiconductor Project in Indonesia

Strategic Investment in High-Tech Manufacturing

A consortium of international companies led by PT Quantum Luminous Indonesia (QLI) is set to initiate construction of a sophisticated semiconductor manufacturing facility in Indonesia's strategic industrial park on Galang Island, Riau Islands, in early 2026. The project, backed by US and German investors, represents a significant milestone in Indonesia's industrial development plans.

Key Project Details

The industrial complex will focus on three main areas:

1. Semiconductor manufacturing
2. Silica sand downstream processing
3. High-tech glass manufacturing

The development is part of the Wiraraja Green Renewable Energy and Smart-Eco Industrial Park, a National Strategic Project (PSN) aimed at creating an integrated industrial ecosystem. Group President Director of PT QLI, Walter William Grieves, emphasized that this initiative demonstrates the companies' strong commitment to accelerating large-scale investments in Indonesia's semiconductor and high-tech manufacturing sectors.

Economic and Industrial Impact

This project is expected to bring substantial economic benefits to Indonesia through:

• Creation of high-value employment opportunities
• Technology transfer in semiconductor manufacturing
• Enhancement of Indonesia's position in the global supply chain
• Stimulation of related industries through downstream processing

The investment underscores Indonesia's growing attractiveness to international investors in the technology sector and its potential to become a significant player in the global semiconductor industry.
