The 2022 WJIS was held for two days. It was initiated by the West Java Provincial Government and the West Java office of Bank Indonesia to present business opportunities and partnerships with national private sectors and attract foreign investors. Both the government and the central bank would like to use this event to promote the prioritized sectors in West Java- the food and renewable energy sector. International investment institutions and private investors can have the chance to meet up with the West Java government to seize business opportunities and establish partnerships with local economic proponents.

On the second day, the Vice Governor of West Java informed us about familiarizing tea as part of West Java’s food innovation in 2022. "The majority of Indonesia’s tea stock comes from West Java. Many high-quality local ones can be widely introduced to improve food security.”

Aside from talk shows, award sessions, and MoU signing ceremonies, WJIS hosted exhibitions of innovative products. ITB joined one of its exhibitions, showcasing the biogas production system's innovation from dairy cattle waste treatment, made by Dr. Rahmat Romadhon, S.T., M.T.
