Heaptalk, Jakarta — The Ministry of Trade continuously encourages the growth of national non-oil and gas export performance. One effort is organizing the 39th Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI) from October 9 to 12, 2024.
At a press conference for TEI held at ICE BSD (09/17), Director General of National Export Development, Mardyana Listyowati, stated that exports are a key pillar for enhancing the national economy. “The Ministry of Trade invites domestic exporters to take advantage of this opportunity by participating in expanding their business networks and capturing the global market,” explained Mardyana.
She further emphasized, “We invite Indonesian exporters to participate in TEI 2024 to broaden their business networks and seize export opportunities in the global market.”
This year, TEI adopts the theme ‘Build Strong Connection with the Best of Indonesia,’ connecting with last year’s theme, ‘Sustainable Trade for Global Economic Resilience.’ Mardyana hoped this year’s theme would strengthen trade connections and serve as a swift step into export markets, boosting Indonesia’s export performance.
Moreover, the event adopts a business-to-business (B2B) concept, allowing Indonesian exporters to meet and interact directly with potential buyers from abroad. “At TEI 2024, the Ministry of Trade targets transactions amounting to US$15 billion from 1,000 participants. This annual exhibition is expected to attract 5,000 buyers worldwide and 30,000 domestic and international visitors.”
This largest exhibition in Indonesia will be divided into three product zones: Food, Beverage, and Agricultural Products; Manufactured Products; and Home Living, Fashion, and Services. In addition to the exhibition, the 39th TEI will feature various activities, including business matching, business counseling, international seminars, live performances, and a buyers’ night.
“TEI serves as a platform to promote high-value export products. The organization of TEI is expected to encourage export penetration into countries that have not been optimally targeted, thereby enhancing non-oil and gas export performance amid the challenges of a global economic slowdown,” concluded Mardyana.
