Jakarta — The Governor of Jakarta, Pramono Anung, officially launched the international electric car racing event, the 2025 Formula E ‘Jakarta E-Prix’, at Jakarta City Hall on Thursday, April 24, 2025.
In his remarks, Pramono reaffirmed his commitment to supporting world-class international sporting events in the capital city. He called on all stakeholders to ensure that the 2025 Jakarta E-Prix is held successfully and at the highest standards.
“When Mr. Iwan, the President Director of Jakpro, approached me to seek approval, I told him, ‘Mr. Iwan, if we are going to host it, we must go all out. Jakarta must be full speed ahead, successful, and the event must be organized excellently,'” Pramono stated.
According to Pramono, Formula E is one of the most anticipated sporting events, attracting fans both domestically and internationally. Therefore, he instructed that preparations be carried out thoroughly, covering not only the main event but also all supporting activities.

In addition to Formula E, Jakarta is also preparing to host several other international sports events in 2025, including running and hockey championships. Pramono expressed optimism that these events will further strengthen Jakarta’s position as a leading sports tourism destination.
