Takeda Strengthens Indonesia's Biopharma Sector with New Job Opportunities

Takeda and the Indonesian Government (the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM and the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs) announced a groundbreaking collaboration aimed at strengthening Indonesia’s plasma ecosystem and supporting more equitable access to lifesaving plasma-derived medicinal products (PDMPs) in Indonesia and around the world. Marked by a fractionation license granted to Takeda by the Ministry of Health (MoH), the collaboration is a major milestone in advancing Indonesia’s health resilience and biopharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities.

“This initiative reflects Indonesia’s commitment to building strategic healthcare capabilities and ensuring sustainable access to essential and innovative therapies for Indonesian patients,” said Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin, Ministry of Health, Republic of Indonesia. “By working closely with trusted global partners like Takeda, we can accelerate the development of a more resilient, future-ready healthcare system.”

The vision for this multi-year initiative, the first of its kind in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, is focused on the sustainable collection of high-quality plasma and manufacturing of PDMPs at scale. Building on Takeda’s long-standing presence in Indonesia, the collaboration has the potential to position the country as a regional hub for plasma science, advanced plasma collection and biopharmaceutical manufacturing and innovation.

“This initiative demonstrates Takeda’s commitment to expanding access to PDMPs, advancing healthcare resilience and supporting sustainable health systems,” said Ramy Riad, President, Plasma-Derived Therapies at Takeda. “From the introduction of our first PDMPs in Indonesia earlier this year to our investment in local plasma infrastructure, we are proud to extend our collaboration with Indonesia and leverage our global expertise in plasma science to support Indonesia’s long-term healthcare objectives. Together, we aim to improve standards of care, create highly skilled jobs and bolster long-term supply of lifesaving, life-sustaining therapies for patients in Indonesia and around the world.”

"This investment represents the type of strategic, long-term investment that Indonesia seeks to attract. Beyond the capital commitment, it brings opportunities for technology transfer, talent development and job creation. The collaboration not only elevates and strengthens Indonesia’s healthcare ecosystem but also supports our ambition to establish Indonesia as a regional hub for advanced life sciences and biopharmaceutical manufacturing,” said Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry / Chairman of BKPM, Rosan P. Roeslani.
