The 1,200sqm space features two dedicated flavour creation and application labs for sweet and savoury applications, a fully equipped sensory suite, and a collaborative Co-Creation Lab for customers to work alongside Kerry’s scientists, flavourists, and application experts.

“This facility is a major step forward in our journey as a trusted innovation partner in Indonesia,” said Janeley Haryono, General Manager, Kerry Indonesia. “With customers collaborating directly with us, we’re enabling faster innovation and delivering solutions that are not only healthier but rooted in local preferences and ingredients. Our investment is in keeping with the Indonesian government’s ‘Making Indonesia 4.0’ initiative that emphasises the importance of the F&B sector in driving the nation towards becoming one of the world’s Top 10 economies by 20301.”

Siddharth Rastogi, Retail, Meat and Marketing Lead, Kerry Southeast Asia, commented: “Indonesia’s central location enables greater proximity to our key markets – allowing us to be closer to our regional customers to develop solutions together that are agile and relevant to rapidly shifting market dynamics. We’re excited to be a hub of food innovation excellence for the industry, helping to shape the future of food and beverage in the region.”

Indonesia’s food and beverage sector continues to be a major driver of the national economy, contributing 7.15% to GDP in the first half of 2024 and projected to grow by 4.53% by year-end. Despite rising costs and regulatory changes, the industry remains stable, buoyed by growing domestic consumption and changing consumer preferences. With a population expected to exceed 281 million by 2025, Indonesia’s demand for innovative, nutritious, and locally relevant food solutions remains strong2.

Kerry’s growing presence in Indonesia includes manufacturing plants in Cikarang and Karawang. Opened in 2023, the €30million Karawang facility is Kerry’s largest greenfield investment in Southeast Asia supporting food and beverage customers in all food categories, including beverage, snacks, and bakery, which are among the company’s fastest growing end use markets.

The new South Jakarta facility also reflects Kerry’s commitment to environmental responsibility. The site, currently under LEED Gold certification review, includes smart energy systems, daylight-responsive lighting, use of energy efficient and sustainable material, with construction waste management implemented throughout the build phase.

Remarked Ambassador of Ireland to Indonesia, H.E. Pádraig Francis, who was present at the opening, “The opening of Kerry’s new RD&A lab marks a significant milestone in Ireland’s economic engagement with Indonesia. It reflects a shared vision of innovation, collaboration, and sustainability. Kerry’s growing presence supports Indonesia’s aspirations in health, nutrition, and industrial development, and stands as part of a proud legacy of Irish companies contributing to inclusive, long-term progress in the region.”

The largest independent energy storage power station in southern Xinjiang has successfully achieved its initial grid connection

KASHGAR, China, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On July 21, the 500,000-kilowatt independent energy storage project of Huadian, located in Akkash Township, Kashgar City, was successfully connected to the power grid for the first time. As the largest independent energy storage facility in southern Xinjiang, this project is expected to provide significant momentum for regional energy transition and economic development.

Kashgar, situated on the western edge of the Taklimakan Desert, enjoys an annual sunshine duration exceeding 2,800 hours. The extensive desert and Gobi areas provide favorable conditions for the development of the photovoltaic industry. Currently, the installed photovoltaic capacity in Kashgar Prefecture has surpassed 10.2486 million kilowatts, accounting for 75.7% of the total installed power capacity in the region. Kashgar has established Xinjiang’s first 10-million-kilowatt-level all-photovoltaic power generation base, which now serves as a key component of the new power system in southern Xinjiang. This base not only enhances the energy structure of Kashgar Prefecture but also, by leveraging its unique geographical time zone advantage, effectively addresses the evening peak power demand in central and eastern provinces during peak generation periods, thereby improving the cross-regional allocation and utilization efficiency of power resources.

The total investment in this project amounts to approximately 1.6 billion yuan. Located 41 kilometers east of Kashgar City, the facility covers an area of 119,000 square meters. It employs a lithium iron phosphate battery system and includes 100 energy storage units along with a 220-kilovolt collection station. The project innovatively implements a hybrid energy storage configuration, combining 50% grid-forming and 50% grid-following technologies. It connects to the Kashgar 750-kilovolt substation via a single 220-kilovolt transmission line. State Grid Kashgar Power Supply Company has consistently advanced the project’s preparatory work, accelerated power grid infrastructure development through coordinated measures, and ensured the successful grid connection of the Huadian Energy Storage Project. Upon commissioning, the project has significantly enhanced the utilization rate of renewable energy, effectively mitigated the intermittency and variability of photovoltaic power generation, and improved the stability and reliability of the local power grid.

Moving forward, State Grid Kashgar Power Supply Company will continue to prioritize the development of the new energy industry, strengthen the integrated development mechanism of “source-grid-load-storage,” promote the innovation and application of energy storage technologies, actively explore the broader application of new energy across multiple sectors, advance the integration of new energy with the region’s “ten major industries,” and support the green transformation of high-energy-consuming industries.

Witnessed by the Singapore Association of Convention & Exhibition Organisers & Suppliers (SACEOS) at the Singapore MICE Forum 2025, the partnership aims to expand NTUC LHUB’s Certified Event Sustainability (CES) Programme overseas.

This pioneering sustainability-focused MICE and event professional certification, accredited by SACEOS and launched in March 2023 in Singapore, will be customised to meet the industry demands and local standards in Hong Kong today.

The collaboration combines NTUC LHUB’s expertise as a leading Continuing Education and Training provider in Singapore, with Earth Production’s regional insights, as a Hong Kong-based company that focuses on a “sustainability-first” approach in providing event consultation and management services.

The courses under the CES Programme include (1) Sustainability in MICE: Unlocking the New Horizon, and (2) Sustainability in Tourism and Event Operations, and (3) Narrating Sustainability in Tourism and Events through Design Thinking. These will expose frontline professionals to an overview of the sustainability concept, learn how to drive sustainability implementation in their respective roles, plan and manage sustainability reporting, and utilise tools to measure the environmental and social impact of events.

To further supplement the programme and its delivery, NTUC LHUB will provide the overseas trainees with online learning resources through its NTUC LearningHub Learning eXperience Platform (LXP). This will enable trainees to leverage case studies on sustainable events in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting and policy templates for the industry.  

For a start, NTUC LHUB and Earth Productions aim to train 40 professionals annually, to effectively enhance sustainability capabilities in the MICE industry within the region. In Singapore, the CES programme has over 150 graduates to date, with over a hundred more undergoing the programme.

“NTUC LearningHub is thrilled to expand our Certified Event Sustainability (CES) Programme internationally through the close collaboration with SACEOS and Earth Productions, who are industry experts in the Asia-Pacific region. With the positive feedback received in Singapore, our programme not only aligns with the Singapore Green Plan, but also advances our shared global mission through continuous workforce skills development. Together, we are poised to make a meaningful impact in the pursuit of sustainability,” said Tay Ee Learn, Assistant Chief Executive and Chief Sector Skills Officer of NTUC LearningHub.

“Sitting for Certified Event Sustainability (CES) Programme in Singapore myself, we have seen the benefits of the comprehensive in-demand skills and knowledge that it offers. Therefore, we are excited to bring it to Hong Kong and the rest of the region soon, such as Macau, together with NTUC LearningHub. As Earth Productions’ key priority is being “sustainability-first” in our own engagements, we believe this programme will enable our professionals back home to gain valuable expertise and thrive in a sustainable and future-forward MICE industry,” Mr Matthew Mak, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Earth Productions.
