Exclusive Authorization in Mainland China to Advance Indonesia Project Collaboration with Chinese Enterprises

Recently, Shanghai Sunway Law Firm’s Global Partner Initiative achieved a significant commercial milestone in Indonesia. Sunway Law has formally entered into a partnership agreement with ACME Group Indonesia and its affiliated project parties, becoming their exclusive authorized partner in Mainland China. The partnership will focus on land and industrial projects, as well as new energy transportation infrastructure, in Indonesia. It aims to align the needs of Chinese enterprises with local project opportunities, facilitate efficient project matchmaking, and build a reliable bridge for Chinese companies expanding into Indonesia.

This partnership represents a significant step forward in Sunway Law’s overseas network development in Indonesia. Through this collaboration, Chinese companies will benefit from clearer access to local project resources and more structured organizational support.

Advancing Localized Collaboration for Chinese Companies in Indonesia

This collaboration focuses on supporting project implementation and industrial deployment of Chinese enterprises in Indonesia.  For companies seeking to enter the Indonesian market—whether through establishing manufacturing facilities, developing warehousing capacity, setting up assembly lines, building regional operations, or engaging in land cooperation and project development— Sunway Law will act as a bridge to support efficient early-stage engagement with local project stakeholders.

Sunway Law will focus on the following areas:

1. Land and industrial project collaboration – Supporting Chinese enterprises with needs in manufacturing, warehousing, assembly bases, regional operations, and joint development.
2. New energy transportation and infrastructure opportunities - Supporting developments in electric two-wheelers, electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, energy storage, and related sectors while assisting companies in identifying and engaging with potential local partners.
3. Market entry and localization support – Providing legal and project support across entity setup, cooperation models, transaction structuring, compliance, and local resource coordination.

ACME Group Resources Aligned with Chinese Companies’ Overseas Needs

ACME Group Indonesia has a strong presence in the local market, focusing on real estate, land development, and industrial projects. Backed by extensive local resources and execution experience, it aligns closely with the needs of Chinese enterprises in areas such as industrial deployment, new energy infrastructure, and manufacturing localization.

For Chinese companies, collaboration with established local project partners offers strategic value. It enables more effective navigation of common challenges in early-stage market entry, including information asymmetry, partner selection, project assessment, and compliance structuring. This improves efficiency and reduces execution risk, supporting a more sustainable long-term market development.

This exclusive authorized partnership between Sunway Law and ACME Group further strengthens the institutional framework for cross-border project collaboration. It enhances access to Indonesian project resources for Chinese companies and provides a more structured channel for cross-border collaboration.

Indonesia as a Key Destination for Chinese Companies in Southeast Asia

In recent years, the global expansion of Chinese companies has shifted from the traditional product export to integrated overseas operations, including local setup, manufacturing investment, and supply chain development. 

Indonesia, with its large population, strong demand, and industrial capacity, has become a key strategic destination —particularly for sectors such as new energy, electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, energy storage, and manufacturing.

For companies entering Indonesia, the market offers multiple pathways, including assembly, joint development, and localized operations. However, companies must address complex issues such as project access, partner selection, transaction structuring, compliance, tax, HR, and operational management.

This creates a clear need for integrated cross-border support, which forms the basis of Sunway Law’s Indonesia-focused services.

Global Partner Initiative Supporting Chinese Enterprises’ Overseas Project Implementation

Sunway Law’s Global Partner Initiative supports Chinese enterprises by building localized collaboration networks. It connects law firms, project partners, industrial partners and professional service providers to create an integrated support system for overseas projects, helping reduce risk and improve execution.

Sunway has already established partnerships across multiple emerging markets, building a strong foundation for project execution and local coordination.

Beyond comprehensive legal services, Sunway Law integrates industry experts, technical advisors, and local institutions to provide practical, implementation-focused support.
