Jakarta – 11 April 2023 | GERMIN | Indonesia and Germany have had a long-standing economic partnership, with Germany being one of Indonesia’s top trading partners in Europe. In recent years, the two countries have been working to deepen their cooperation, particularly in the areas of industry and technology.
One example of this cooperation is the upcoming Hannover-Messe event in April 2023. The Hannover-Messe is an international trade fair for industrial technology, featuring exhibitors from around the world showcasing the latest innovations in industry and manufacturing.
With an economic growth rate of over five percent, Indonesia is on the road to recovery following the pandemic. The main reason for this is the high price of raw materials: Coal, palm oil, nickel and rubber from Indonesia are in some cases fetching record prices on world markets. However, Indonesia’s goal is to attract more labor-intensive manufacturing to the country. Following the liberalization of investment as well as labor law, international investors now have a greater scope of action.
Indonesia will take advantage of its presence at HANNOVER MESSE to attract more business from abroad. More than 150 Indonesian companies are already committed to exhibiting at the world’s leading industrial trade fair.
Indonesia has been a regular participant in the Hannover-Messe in recent years, with a growing number of Indonesian companies showcasing their products and services. In 2023, Indonesia is expected to have an even larger presence at the event, with a focus on the country’s manufacturing sector.
Germany and Indonesia have also been working to strengthen their cooperation in the area of vocational education and training. In 2019, Germany signed a memorandum of understanding with Indonesia to collaborate on vocational education and training, with a focus on the development of a skilled workforce for Indonesia’s manufacturing sector.
Overall, the cooperation between Indonesia and Germany industries is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, with a focus on industry, manufacturing, and technology. The Hannover-Messe event in April 2023 will provide an excellent opportunity for Indonesian and German companies to showcase their latest innovations and explore new partnerships.
Indonesia is this year’s Partner Country at HANNOVER MESSE. Indonesian President Joko Widodo has confirmed his personal attendance at the world’s leading industrial trade fair and will speak at the opening ceremony on 16 April.
