The 41st Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI), held in Jakarta from October 14 to 18, 2026, has successfully concluded, surpassing all expectations. The event generated an impressive US$ 22.94 billion in potential transactions, exceeding its US$ 17.5 billion target by a significant 31.1 percent. This achievement is attributed to the collaborative synergy between the government, Indonesian trade representatives abroad, and business players.
This year's exhibition saw 1,873 exhibitors, exceeding the target by 24.9 percent. It also attracted 9,600 registered buyers from 151 countries, with India, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, the UAE, and Japan leading in transaction values. Food and beverages, jewelry, and wood products were among the top product categories.
To sustain this momentum, the Ministry of Trade is implementing a three-stage strategy focusing on business matching before, during, and after the exhibition. This ensures that potential trade agreements are followed up to become concrete contracts contributing to Indonesia's export performance.
Furthermore, the TEI provided a platform for young entrepreneurs through the Campuspreneur program, which facilitated export training and market access. This initiative resulted in over US$ 24.57 million in potential transactions, demonstrating the potential of Indonesian students as future exporters.
