INNOPROM as a Golden Gateway for Indonesian Industry Expansion into Eurasia
Moscow, Russia (ANTARA) - The Indonesian government is leveraging the INNOPROM 2026 international industrial exhibition as a strategic gateway to expand the nation’s manufacturing footprint into the vast Eurasian market. The event, held in Ekaterinburg, Russia, from 6–9 July 2026, serves as a platform to strengthen industrial cooperation and access non-traditional markets that have not been optimally explored.
As the Official Partner Country, Indonesia is not only promoting its national manufacturing products but also paving the way for investment, technology transfer, and export market expansion across the Eurasian region. Amid shifting global trade dynamics, this presence underscores that Indonesian industry has moved up the value chain and is ready to become a strategic global partner.
The Ministry of Industry brought dozens of business players from key sectors to the exhibition, including the metal, machinery, transportation equipment, and electronics (ILMATE) sector, as well as creative manufacturing and agro-industry. The Indonesian pavilion featured a range of innovations, from artificial intelligence, virtual reality, RFID, and drones to solar energy, shipbuilding, maritime components, ferrous metals, and industrial machinery. High-value-added products blending innovation, technology, and Indonesia’s cultural richness were also introduced as the new face of national manufacturing.
Indonesia aims to present itself not merely as a large market, but as an industrial partner capable of delivering innovation, technology, and high-value-added manufacturing products for mutual growth. This progress is reflected in the positive performance of the ILMATE sector, which grew 4.28 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, contributing nearly a quarter of the non-oil and gas processing industry’s GDP. Investment realisation in the sector reached Rp90.48 trillion, signalling strong business optimism.
As a backbone of Indonesia’s manufacturing transformation, the ILMATE sector featured 19 companies and institutions specialising in digital technology, metal industries, shipyards, maritime components, cables, solar energy, drones, smart farming, and industrial equipment manufacturing. Industrial relations with Eurasian countries are deepening, marked by the signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement between PT PAL Indonesia and Russia’s Rosatom in April 2026, initiating world-class maritime technology and engineering collaboration.
Beyond high-tech industries, Indonesia also showcased its creative-based manufacturing strength. Six national industry players presented batik products alongside batik-making machines, geospatial survey services, drone technology, specialty coffee, home décor, and fashion and textile products. The government views these products as highly competitive, as they not only prioritise quality and innovation but also offer added value born from creativity, sustainability, and Indonesia’s cultural identity.
