He highlighted the “valley of death” problem—the hole between college analysis and industrial commercialization—the place many inventions fail to achieve the market.
Yuliarto emphasised that economic assessments needs to be built-in early in downstreaming discussions.
Bank Indonesia Deputy Governor Aida Budiman added that the central financial institution’s institute helps analysis related to nationwide economic coverage, together with mineral downstreaming fashions, by collaboration with the ministry.
“Such studies can serve as a foundation for policy recommendations and economic innovation,” she mentioned.
