London – September 12, 2026 -- Frost & Sullivan and PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) have launched a joint initiative to build a dual-use aerospace ecosystem across Indonesia, targeting aircraft development, production, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), unmanned aircraft systems and supply-chain localisation.
Initiative targets full aerospace value chain from manufacturing to international partnerships
The collaboration spans national capability-building in aircraft development, production, operation and maintenance, as well as advanced manufacturing and MRO. It also covers unmanned aircraft systems, supply-chain localisation and international partnership development, with the stated goal of strengthening Indonesia's industrial sovereignty and creating skilled employment.
Frost & Sullivan deploys Enterprise Grid MetaBrain for ecosystem orchestration
Frost & Sullivan's Enterprise Grid MetaBrain platform will support data-driven decision-making, ecosystem orchestration, investor engagement and scenario-based planning for the initiative. The platform combines market intelligence and structured planning to identify value-chain opportunities and convert long-term goals into actionable development pathways.
PTDI and Frost & Sullivan leadership align on national platform ambition
PTDI's leadership team includes Gita Amperiawan, President Director and CEO; Moh. Arif Faisal, Director of Commerce and Development; and Dena Hendriana, Director of Production. Frost & Sullivan is represented by Aroop Zutshi, Global Managing Partner and Executive Board Member, and Subhranshu Shekhar Das, Executive Board Member and MetaBrain Lead Architect.
The initiative is designed to extend beyond either organisation's individual capabilities, creating a national platform through which Indonesian and international companies can invest, participate and collaborate across the aerospace sector.
