Hear what our members say about the ICP...
Berend van Wel
President Director of Frisian Flag Indonesia
"The strength of the ICP is in its 360-degree approach – the program provides in-the-moment updates and background of key developments on the Indonesian economic and political situation. At the same time, it allows for sharing insights across senior executives in the industry, building on the deep knowledge of Jim and Ian with their team. The CastleAsia team is always willing to help and provide additional insights and backgrounds where helpful and relevant. A great asset for the full agenda of business leaders to know they can always rely on having the latest insights and support at their fingertips."
Wichard von Harrach
President Director of Jawa Power
"The ICP provides invaluable insights into the Indonesian economy and its politics, offering a clear and comprehensive view. Team's expertise surpasses local knowledge, complemented by their balanced perspective and wit. Consistent in-depth reports serve as essential references, aiding informed decisions and business opportunities. On top, creating a personal network over the time."

"Inputs and signals reciprocally provided by CastleAsia ICP and its contributing members spanning over different industries, its respective supply chain, Governments and multilateral organizations help understand the policies and direction of the country and often help businesses predict the next “surprise”. Highly recommended."
