Following the RECP workshop in December, CRECPI/UNIDO team had several meetings with important stakeholders in Batam from the 1st to 3rd of February 2016. This mission is intended to coordinate with BP Batam, Bapedal Batam (Environmental Agency), and the management of several industrial parks regarding the start of RECP demonstration in Batam Island. The meeting with officials at BP Batam and the Head of Bapedal Batam discusses mainly about the preparation for official programme launching and signing of agreement between local authorities, ITB, UNIDO, and partner industrial parks.
Moreover, the team also held workshop in three different industrial parks, namely Tunas Industrial Estate, Kabil Integrated Industrial Estate, and Panbil Industrial Estate in order to promote RECP programme directly to the tenants. The team also visited some prospective industries in those industrial parks and also industries in Executive Industrial Park to obtain commitment from the company management and to do a plant walk through. From this mission 10 companies, ranging from oil and gas pipe manufacture, aluminum foundry to coffee machine manufacture, located in four different industrial parks agreed to be part of this project as RECP demonstration companies.
