APEKSI and the new media platform SUAR are exploring a strategic partnership that has the potential to become a new “signpost” for regional development and the national business community. The meeting, held on 9 October 2025, discussed collaboration opportunities, primarily leveraging the newly launched platform to publish the achievements, innovations, and strategies of Indonesian cities. SUAR, founded by senior journalist Sutta Dharmasaputra in August 2025, embraces a vision of solutions journalism with a focus on becoming a driving force in the business world. This synergy will enable business actors and economic stakeholders to gain comprehensive insights from local governments, connecting local policy dynamics with investment and business opportunities.
As a media outlet that goes beyond selling news to building ecosystems and communities, SUAR is considered ideal for presenting APEKSI information. SUAR’s focus on covering political, geopolitical, national, and local issues that influence business dynamics aligns with cities’ need to attract investment and solve problems with innovative solutions. This collaboration is expected to bridge the information gap, provide optimism, and serve as a “compass” guiding entrepreneurs in analysing trends and identifying growth potential in various urban areas. The results of this meeting indicate a new chapter in the synergy between the press and local governments to accelerate national economic development.
