TECHNOGERMA JAKARTA '99 shows German faith in RI

In 1979, the German business community held a trade fair in Indonesia, called INDOGERMA. Since then, many forms of collaboration have emerged between Indonesian companies and industrial associations and their German counterparts, encouraging the growth of trade relations between the two countries.

It is in light of these excellent relations that TECHNOGERMA, the largest exhibition of German technology held abroad every four years, is set for Jakarta in 1999.

The event will seek to contribute toward fostering economic stabilization and technological and economic development of Indonesia; strengthening and expanding its economic relations with the Federal Republic of Germany.

TECHNOGERMA JAKARTA '99 -- from March 1 to March 7 at the Jakarta Convention Center -- is organized by the German Federal Ministry of Economics, which is financially sponsoring the event, as well as the Exhibition and Trade Fair Committee of the German Trade and Industrial Association, with the support of the German- Indonesian Chamber of Industry and Commerce of Jakarta.

The Federal Ministry for Education and Research will also be represented, along with the Press and Information Office of the Federal Government, the German Finance Company for Investments in Developing Countries, GTZ/Protrade and the German Mechanical Engineering Association. TECHNOGERMA '99 will be rounded off with Engineers in Dialog, a special show on environmental technology and a presentation on studying in Germany.

More than 180 exhibitors are registered for the approximately 67,800 square feet of exhibition space; 75 of the exhibitors consist of companies with stands of their own.
