On Thursday, April 17, early Hannover time, the Indonesian Pavilion at Hannover Messe 2023 was inaugurated by Indonesian President Joko Widodo and German Chancellor Olaf Schol. As the official country partner for this grand industrial event, Indonesia presents an estimated area of up to 3000 m2 to be available in Indonesia's National Pavilion Zone.

"The Indonesian Pavilion is specifically designed to mimic the shape of a traditional Indonesian ship. In voyaging toward the future and facing its challenges, we wish to demonstrate the spirit of Indonesia. Furthermore, this Pinisi ship has a compass called Making Indonesia 4.0 as a navigator for industrial transformation in Indonesia," said Indonesian President Joko Widodo at the inauguration of the Indonesian Pavilion in Hall 2 of the Hannover Messe.

The President invited the audience to the Indonesian Pavilion so they could experience Indonesia as a land of opportunity and as a future manufacturing hub. “The Pinisi ship has two main masts and seven sails. The two main masts represent the downstream industry and expediting the clean energy transition, which are the two pillars of Indonesia's transformation," said the President.

Meanwhile, the seven-screen symbol represent the top priority sectors promoted by the co-exhibitors, which include food and beverage, textiles, automotive, electronics, chemicals, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals. Thus, the regional and global economies will also grow as a result of the acceleration of Indonesia's industrial transformation.

"Because investing in Indonesia means investing in a better future, let's sail together and accelerate industrial transformation for a better world in the spirit of "Infinite Journey”," the President added.

The Indonesian Pavilion serves as a venue for the country's leading industry players to exhibit their technology, products and expertise, as well as interact with visitors from influential business circles and international figures.

From a total area of 3000 m2, 1500 m2 is dedicated to the co-exhibitors zone by the Highlight Theme Indonesia Partner Country, specifically, zone A for companies with the theme of sustainability and energy, zone B as the main zone for Making Indonesia 4.0 and engineered parts and solutions, zone C for BUMN, zone D for the theme of investment/industrial estates and human capital, as well as the HM zone for the theme of startup and innovation and HM Display Categories.
