JAKARTA - The performance of the Indonesian manufacturing sector is still stretched. This is evident, where the industrial sector is still the largest contributor to GDP in 2022, which is 16.48 percent.

The industrial sector also contributed quite a large amount to national tax revenues, which amounted to 28.7 percent. The same thing is illustrated through the release of the Industrial Trust Index (IKI), which until March 2023 still shows an expansion value of 51.87. The increase in IKI value from November 2022 to March 2023 was 1.93 percent with an average increase since the release of IKI in the first, November 2022 to March 2023 of 0.48 percent.

In line with the condition of the Indonesian industrial sector which is getting better after the COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesia took the golden opportunity as the first ASEAN country to become a country partner for the third time at the Hannover Messe 2023 international industry exhibition. This prestigious event will take place on April 17-21, 2023 in Hannover, Germany.

Indonesia's participation as the Official Partner Country (Indonesia Partner Country-IPC) is in line with the strategic initiative 'Making Indonesia 4.0' in order to answer the challenges of the 4th industrial revolution. This will also lead to an increase in inclusive sustainability, startup business and technology development, as well as to support the circular economy," said the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to the Federal Republic of Germany, Arif Havas Oegroseno at the Kick Off Press Conference in Hannover, Germany, Wednesday, April 12 local time.

The Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia explained, through Hannover Messe 2023, Indonesia will again display a number of industrial technology 4.0 and investment opportunities in the industrial sector from 157 co-exhibitors.

In addition, Indonesia will also hold a series of activities such as the opening of the Indonesian Pavilion at the Hannover Messe Fairground with an area of about 3,000 m2, business Summit, Indonesia country night, and several industry-themed conferences.

In order to further increase public awareness of the Hannover Messe 2023 event, the Indonesian government has also carried out several promotional and publication activities both carried out at home and abroad, even long before the exhibition.

Through these promotional and publication activities, it is hoped that Indonesia's four main targets for Indonesia's participation in the Hannover Messe 2023 event can be achieved, namely: 1) to introduce Indonesia's vision on the Making Indonesia 4.0; 2 roadmap) to promote industrial cooperation; 3) to promote investment and export; and 4) improve bilateral cooperation with Germany and enter the global supply chain network.
