Gaikindo Auto Week 2026 to be Held Simultaneously Across 10 Cities
The Gaikindo automotive exhibition is set to return towards the end of the year with a significantly broader scope. This year, the exhibition will not only take place in Jakarta but will be held simultaneously across 10 cities in Indonesia.
The Permata Bank Gaikindo Auto Week 2026 will run from 20 to 29 November 2026. Initiated by the Association of Indonesian Automotive Industries (GAIKINDO) in collaboration with the Ministry of Industry, the event will be held in Jakarta, Bali, Balikpapan, Bandung, Makassar, Medan, Palembang, Semarang, Solo, and Surabaya.
GAIKINDO Chairman Putu Juli Ardika stated that the multi-city approach is designed to expand the exhibition’s reach and maintain motor vehicle sales activity towards the end of the year. “The Permata Bank Gaikende Auto Week 2026, held simultaneously in 10 cities, is an effort to create an automotive exhibition platform that directly brings consumers and the automotive industry together,” said Putu.
In Jakarta, the exhibition will take place at ICE BSD City from 20 to 29 November. Meanwhile, the other nine cities will host their exhibitions from 25 to 29 November 2026, with locations spread across various regional shopping centres.
In Bali, the exhibition will be held at the Main Atrium of Living World Denpasar. Balikpapan will utilise the Atrium of e-Walk Mall Balikpapan Superblock, while Bandung will be hosted at the Cibadag Atrium, Summarecon Mall Bandung. Furthermore, the exhibition in Makassar will take place at the Main Atrium of Trans Studio Mall Makassar, and Medan at the Main Atrium of Sun Plaza Medan. In Palembang, the venue will be the Atrium of Palembang Icon Mall.
For Semarang, Gaikindo Auto Week will be held at the Downtown Atrium, 23 Mall Semarang. The exhibition in Solo will take place at The Park Mall Solo Baru, while Surabaya will utilise the Fashion Atrium at Pakuwon Mall Surabaya.
Daily Chairman and Organising Committee Chair of Gaikindo Exhibitions and Conferences, Anton Kumonty, said the 10-city concept was created to reach communities that have previously been outside the primary locations of Gaikindo exhibitions. “We have designed this simultaneous exhibition in 10 cities to reach consumers in various cities who have not previously had the opportunity to attend automotive exhibitions organised by Gaikindo,” said Anton.
In addition to showcasing vehicles from various brands, organisers have prepared test drive areas at the exhibition sites. This facility is part of the exhibition activities, allowing visitors to try the vehicles directly.
For this year’s event, Permata Bank returns as the main sponsor. The bank has also prepared several vehicle financing programmes for the duration of the exhibition. Alongside Permata Bank, several other companies and brands are supporting the event, including PLN Mobile, V-Kool, Superchallenge, Kahf, Kopi Kenangan, and Berkah Event.
The simultaneous implementation in 10 cities is part of Gaikindo’s effort to expand public access to automotive exhibitions. With the execution in Jakarta and nine other cities, the event serves as a key agenda for the national automotive industry towards the end of 2026.
