Government officials and industry representatives attend the opening ceremony
of the 41st Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI) 2026 in Jakarta, Indonesia, on 14 October
2026.

Opened on behalf of President Prabowo Subianto by Coordinating Minister for Downstreaming
and Energy Transition Bahlil Lahadalia, the event highlights downstreaming and industrialization
as drivers of higher-value exports and economic resilience. "Downstreaming is key
to increasing the added value of Indonesia’s natural resources while strengthening
national economic self-reliance," he said.

TEI 2026 had registered buyers from 134 countries and 1,873 exhibitors by opening
day, said Minister of Trade Budi Santoso. It targets 30,000 visitors and USD 17.5
billion in potential transactions; 168 memoranda of understanding (MoUs) between
Indonesian exporters and buyers from 22 countries are scheduled to be signed on 
day one.

TEI connects Indonesian businesses with global buyers, showcasing food and beverages,
agricultural and manufactured goods, fashion and crafts, furniture and home décor,
and industrial estates for investors, spanning consumer products and investment 
opportunities across sectors nationwide. It advances the Ministry’s priorities—Securing
the Domestic Market, Expanding Export Markets and From Local to Global—by strengthening
local products and encouraging more businesses to export.

"In line with the President’s directives, we continue trade negotiations with various
countries and regions to open export markets. To date, 25 trade agreements have 
been implemented, while 13 are under negotiation," Budi said.

The Ministry supports MSME exports through business matching facilitated by 46 Indonesian
trade representative offices across 33 countries. Desa BISA Ekspor develops village
products for export, while domestic retail partnerships support local sales. Campuspreneur
works with 25 universities to encourage students to build businesses and pursue 
exports. Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs Zulkifli Hasan highlighted non-traditional
market opportunities, particularly South Asia—including Bangladesh, Pakistan and
India—and Africa.

At the opening ceremony, the Ministry presented the Primaniyarta Award to outstanding
exporters and regional leaders and the Primaduta Award to international partners,
diaspora members and Indonesian representatives abroad. The Campuspreneur Award 
will recognize students with the highest transactions during TEI 2026.

TEI 2026 is supported by Pertamina as Strategic Partner, Bank Mandiri as Bank Partner,
and BPDP as Event Partner, together with Kadin Indonesia and LPEI. The exhibition
is organized by Debindo.
