Indonesia Supply Chain 2026 Launched, Backed by CeMAT and CargoNOW

Jakarta. Indonesia Supply Chain Exhibition & Conference (ISC) 2026 has been officially launched as a new international platform focusing on end-to-end supply chain technology, logistics, and intralogistics. The event is scheduled to take place on Nov. 25–27, 2026, at Nusantara International Convention & Exhibition (NICE), PIK 2, Jakarta.

The launch of ISC 2026 was held on Thursday at The Westin Jakarta and organized by Deutsche Messe, Debindo Global Expo, and CargoNOW, marking an effort to strengthen Indonesia’s supply chain ecosystem amid rapid industrial growth.

ISC 2026 also marks the return of CeMAT to Jakarta, widely recognized as a leading global platform for intralogistics, automation, and logistics innovation. Through this event, Indonesia is expected to further integrate with global industry networks.

The exhibition will bring together a wide range of stakeholders, including manufacturers, logistics providers, technology firms, cargo operators, e-commerce players, and government representatives from Indonesia and across ASEAN.

Various solutions will be showcased at ISC 2026, spanning transportation and logistics, warehousing, material handling, supply chain technology, manufacturing support, as well as specialized sectors such as cold chain and pharmaceuticals.

Indonesia is one of the fastest-growing supply chain and logistics markets in Southeast Asia. Rapid industrial expansion, rising e-commerce demand, and large-scale infrastructure investments are driving efficiency and supply chain resilience to become key priorities for manufacturers, distributors, and logistics providers nationwide.

The country’s supply chain transformation is being accelerated by national investment and government policy focus. Initiatives such as the National Logistics Ecosystem (NLE) streamline port and customs processes, while major infrastructure programs, including new ports, toll road networks, and industrial zones, are reshaping goods distribution across the archipelago.

At the same time, Indonesia’s e-commerce market, projected to surpass $100 billion in the coming years, is driving demand for advanced warehousing, automation, and last-mile logistics solutions. This shift underscores the need for integrated, technology-based supply chain systems at a national scale.

Indonesia’s logistics costs remain among the highest in Asia, estimated at above 20% of GDP, highlighting the urgency of adopting more efficient and technology-driven supply chain systems.

Indonesia Supply Chain is designed to directly address these challenges by bringing international technology, automation, and digital logistics solutions to Indonesian businesses, while connecting local operators with global suppliers, system integrators, and industry decision-makers.

The launch also positions Indonesia as a key growth market within the global Hannover Messe network, reflecting the country’s rising importance in regional and international supply chains.

Senior Commercial Director APAC Hannover Fairs Australia and Asia Pacific, Mike Nissen, said Indonesia Supply Chain marks a significant step forward for the region’s logistics and supply chain sector.

“Indonesia is more than ready to host an international platform of this scale, connecting local industries with global expertise while delivering practical solutions to everyday operational challenges. We are proud to bring the CeMAT and Hannover Messe event network back to Jakarta and to collaborate with Debindo and CargoNOW to make this happen,” he said.

Similarly, Director of Debindo Global Expo, Rafidi Iqra, said ISC 2026 serves as a cross-industry platform to strengthen collaboration within the supply chain ecosystem as a backbone of economic growth.

“Supported by global synergies as part of CeMAT, ISC 2026 represents an important momentum to showcase innovation while encouraging industry players to strengthen their positioning and partnerships. Moving forward, digitalization and efficiency will be the main drivers in enhancing the competitiveness of Indonesia’s supply chain sector,” Rafidi said.

Meanwhile, President of The Logistics & Supply Chain Management Society, Dr. Raymon Krishnan, said Indonesia is at a critical juncture, with logistics costs exceeding 20% of GDP.

“This event is not just an exhibition; it is a platform to build the future of Indonesia’s supply chain, from e-commerce to cold chain, while bridging global innovation with local implementation,” he said.

During the event, Indonesia Supply Chain will feature a range of flagship programs, including international technology showcases and live product demonstrations, automation and robotics solutions to improve warehouse throughput, multimodal transport solutions, AI- and IoT-based digital systems for real-time visibility and decision-making, cross-border trade, as well as executive conferences and industry leadership forums, including LogiSYM Indonesia 2026.

Indonesia Supply Chain is part of the global Hannover Messe network, a leading platform in advanced manufacturing, automation, logistics, and Industry 4.0, connecting local businesses with global expertise, supply chain innovation, and cross-border partnerships.
