Business Initiation Trip to Indonesia
Optics & Photonics
With a Focus on the Electronics and Semiconductor Industry
Date: 10–13 May 2026
Location: Jakarta & Bandung, Indonesia
Background
Indonesia, the largest economy in Southeast Asia, is rapidly becoming a key location for the electronics and semiconductor industry. With an industry share of over 8% of the manufacturing sector and a projected growth of 13.8% in 2024, the market offers enormous opportunities. Driven by megatrends such as artificial intelligence, IoT and 5G, the demand for intelligent, photonics-supported electronics solutions is increasing.
Government initiatives such as Making Indonesia 4.0 and the Indonesia Emas 2045 vision focus on modernising the industry through advanced technologies and international cooperation. German companies with expertise in optics, photonics, automation and laser-based manufacturing can make a decisive contribution to industrial transformation.
This delegation trip offers an exclusive opportunity to tap into the dynamic market, to make German high-tech competence visible and to establish strategic partnerships with leading Indonesian players.
Objectives
Market Exploration: Understand the trends in the Indonesian electronics and semiconductor industry, the demand for photonics solutions, and the regulatory framework.
Network building: Connect with local businesses, industry associations, government institutions, and research institutions for potential collaborations.
Technology presentation: Present German innovations in optics, photonics and automation to an Indonesian trade audience and increase your visibility.
Identify business opportunities: Identify potential for technology transfer, joint development projects, and investment in local manufacturing capabilities.
Strategic partnerships: Establishing alliances with Indonesian stakeholders to promote sustainable growth and collaborative industrial projects.
Format
This delegation trip is aimed at German companies that offer innovative technologies in the fields of optics, photonics and automation for the electronics and semiconductor industries. The aim is to develop sustainable market opportunities in Indonesia and to establish strategic partnerships with local players. The initiative offers a structured platform to make German high-tech solutions visible and to promote technology transfer.
The program includes:
