Indonesia is on the path toward "Golden Indonesia 2045," with a vision of becoming an advanced nation across various sectors. The government targets an 8% annual economic growth by supporting domestic industries, strengthening infrastructure, and enhancing Indonesia's role in the global supply chain. In this context, the FLEI Business Show 2024 emerges as the main platform connecting global investors with local and international business players. The event will take place from October 25-27, 2024, at the Jakarta Convention Center and is organized by Panorama Media in collaboration with the Indonesian Franchise and License Association (WALI), KADIN, and the Franchise Academy Indonesia. Featuring hundreds of exhibitors from various sectors, the FLEI Business Show is expected to be an important meeting point for businesses in Indonesia to innovate and grow in an increasingly competitive market.
With a rebranding to FLEI Business Show 2024, the exhibition presents a broader and more inclusive vision. The event offers an extensive range of coverage, including franchises, licenses, and various business solutions such as resellers, distributors, and partnerships. Rulief Harjianto, Project Manager of FLEI, stated, "We are not only focused on franchises and licenses but also creating a more comprehensive platform for business players from various sectors. Through this event, we aim to strengthen business networks, encourage strategic collaboration, and open new investment opportunities."
SUPPORTING INDONESIA'S ECONOMIC GROWTH
With the 8% economic growth target, the Indonesian government is focused on strengthening infrastructure to ensure Indonesia plays a larger role in the global supply chain. Meanwhile, a significant role from entrepreneurs, particularly in the domestic market, is essential. Levita Ginting Supit, Chairperson of WALI and Vice Chair of KADIN, emphasized the importance of events like the FLEI Business Show in promoting domestic business growth. "This event provides significant opportunities for the franchise and licensing sectors to contribute to the national economy. The food and beverage sector, which is dominated by the younger generation, has become one of the fastestgrowing sectors," she stated.
Burang Riyadi from the Franchise Academy Indonesia added, "With the economic recovery in sectors such as accommodation, restaurants, and business services post-pandemic, the opportunities for expansion through franchising are growing. Franchising has proven to be a resilient business model, especially in the food and beverage sector, which continues to experience high demand."
The surge of franchise, partnership, and licensing exhibitions in Indonesia proves that these businesses can thrive amid various challenges. The FLEI Business Show 2024 will present several new programs and innovations designed to become a better and more beneficial platform for all business players.
