Pandu Sjahrir and Ray Dalio during a meeting on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum and OceanX Forum in Nice, France (June 10).

I had the opportunity to engage in a direct conversation with Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates and OceanX, as well as an advisor to Danantara Indonesia, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum and OceanX Forum.

During the meeting, we highlighted the tremendous potential of downstream industries, healthcare, and the blue economy, sectors that are increasingly vital in the global pursuit of sustainable solutions. OceanX plays a key role as a research partner, aligned with Indonesia’s growing significance in global ocean exploration.

For me personally, this meeting was part of an ongoing journey to keep learning, growing, and contributing to building a stronger and more sustainable future for Indonesia, for the sake of generations to come.
