“America has a stake in Indonesia growing and developing, with prosperity that is broadly shared among the Indonesian people — because a rising middle class here in Indonesia means new markets for our goods, just as America is a market for goods coming from Indonesia.”

From speech at University of Indonesia in Jakarta by U.S. President Barak Obama, November 10, 2010

Bridge to Indonesia Initiative

Since 2010, tQ Automation, LLC has been closely collaborating with US companies and our Indonesian partners and customers to forge business ties that mutually grow our companies both here in the US and in Southeast Asia.   We call this our “Bridge to Indonesia” (BTI) initiative.

In November 2010, US President Barack Obama visited Indonesia and said during a speech,

“…we are investing more in Indonesia, and our exports have grown by nearly 50 percent, and we are opening doors for Americans and Indonesians to do business with one another.”

University of Indonesia, Jakarta, November 10, 2010.

We are working to open some of these doors and building bridges to Indonesia leveraging our deep knowledge of the country and broad network across industries and government agencies and departments within Indonesia.

You can read more about our activities by reading through a timeline of our BTI initiative activities below.
