Ministry of Industry Drives the Readiness of Industrial Players to Exhibit at INNOPROM 2026.

Indonesia is solidifying its preparations to serve as the *Partner Country* at Russia's largest international industrial exhibition, INNOPROM 2026. To this end, the Ministry of Industry (MoI) organized a Business Dialogue Road to INNOPROM 2026 in Surabaya on November 17, 2025, to strengthen national synergy and ensure the readiness of industrial players. "For Indonesia, INNOPROM serves as a strategic gateway to the Russian and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) markets, as well as a platform for building industrial partnerships," stated Syahroni Ahmad, Secretary of the Directorate General of Resilience, Regional and International Industrial Access (KPAII) of the Ministry of Industry, in his remarks. As the *Partner Country* in 2026, Indonesia will leverage this platform to promote joint industrial and investment cooperation, strengthen business-to-business and government-to-government relations, showcase Indonesia's technological and creative capabilities, and present Indonesia as a global manufacturing and innovation hub. Furthermore, the Ministry of Industry also affirmed its commitment to accelerate the transformation towards an advanced industrial nation through industrial downstreaming policies and value-added enhancement. The industrial sector is one of the main drivers of sustainable and inclusive economic growth. As of the third quarter of 2025, Indonesia's non-oil and gas manufacturing exports reached USD 167.85 billion, contributing approximately 81% of the total national exports. The non-oil and gas manufacturing sector contributed approximately 17.39% to Indonesia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the third quarter of 2025. Based on Manufacturing Value Added (MVA) in 2024, Indonesia ranked 13th globally and first in Southeast Asia with an MVA reaching USD 265 billion, making it one of the largest manufacturing powers in Southeast Asia. This value is even more than double that of Thailand, which ranks second. Industrial downstreaming policies are key for Indonesia to transform from merely an exporter of raw materials into a producer of high value-added industrial goods. This effort aims to strengthen the industrial structure, enhance competitiveness, expand the export base, and create quality employment. **Strengthening Indonesia-Russia Partnership Through INNOPROM 2026** The strategic partnership between Indonesia and Russia has long been established and was further strengthened by the bilateral meeting between President Prabowo and President Putin on June 19, 2025. Bilateral trade between the two countries in 2024 reached approximately USD 3.98 billion, with total Russian investment amounting to approximately USD 262.8 million. There is strong potential for expanding cooperation in various fields, including food and agriculture, pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, *shipbuilding*, *chrysotile*, *fertilizers*, and the metallurgical industry. Russia is a strategic partner for Indonesia in the Eurasian region, and Indonesia is committed to supporting the conclusion of negotiations for the Indonesia–Eurasian Economic Union Free Trade Agreement (IEAEU-FTA) to strengthen economic ties and open up broader cooperation opportunities for both countries. "We hope that when Indonesia serves as the Partner Country in 2026, our presence will not merely be as a participant, but as a nation showcasing a clear vision, a focused strategy, and a strong, future-oriented industrial sector," concluded Syahroni. The Ministry of Industry hopes that this forum will be optimally utilized by all industrial players as a strategic momentum to expand networks, explore cooperation opportunities, and present the capacities and competitive advantages of their respective regions.
