Empower, connect and immerse participants

Ms Fiona Chiew, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, said: “Indonesia’s automotive market is taking on a much bigger role regionally, especially as global supply chains look to Southeast Asia for business growth and development. Our fringe programme is designed to tap into this momentum, providing touchpoints for local professionals to gain global market insights and practical skills, while giving international participants a clear window into the unique opportunities within Indonesia’s evolving automotive landscape.”

“Elevating Indonesia’s automotive manufacturing capabilities requires an alignment of domestic industrial standards with global shifts in the automotive industry,” said Mr Yusak Kristian, Chairman of the Indonesian Automotive Parts & Components Industries Association (GIAMM). “Through skills development and technical exchange, these activities at Automechanika Jakarta support a long-term transformation of our automotive ecosystem. Upgrading local expertise and fostering smart, sustainable practices ensures our domestic industry remains resilient, competitive, and well positioned to lead in regional supply chains.”
