12 hours ago | INTI


Jakarta, INTI - Indonesia Technology & Innovation (INTI) 2026 officially opened today at Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo) Kemayoran, Jakarta. As a major technology and innovation exhibition, INTI 2026 brings together industry leaders, government institutions, associations, investors, innovators, academics, and technology solution providers to strengthen collaboration and accelerate the development of Indonesia’s digital ecosystem from upstream infrastructure to downstream applications.

INTI 2026 is supported by the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN Indonesia) as its Official Institutional Partner. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to strengthening connections between businesses, government, industry associations, and technology stakeholders while supporting the development of Indonesia’s digital ecosystem and national industries.

The opening ceremony began with Welcoming Remarks from Hendri Bunardy, Director of CNG Trade & Event, followed by Co-Host Welcoming Remarks from Firlie Ganinduto, Head of the Digital Ecosystem Agency at KADIN Indonesia. The program continued with keynote speeches by Andi Rizaldi, Expert Staff to the Minister for the Acceleration of Industry 4.0 Transformation, and Boni Pudjianto, Head of the Human Resources Development Agency at the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs.

952 Participants from 8 Countries

INTI 2026 has expanded its international presence, bringing together 952 exhibitors and participants from eight countries to showcase technologies, innovations, and solutions for a wide range of industrial needs. The exhibition is targeting 30,000 visitors from 20 countries, further strengthening its position as an international meeting point for Indonesia’s technology industry.

“Through a wide range of technology sectors, from telecommunications, AI, and data centers to cybersecurity, IoT, robotics, semiconductors, smart mobility, drone technology, and smart manufacturing, we hope INTI can become a platform where new ideas, innovations, partnerships, and investment opportunities emerge,” said Hendri Bunardy, Director of CNG Trade & Event, in his Welcoming Remarks.

International participation is further supported by eight international country and group delegations representing China, India, Taiwan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, South Korea, and Japan. Their participation creates opportunities for technology exchange, investment, business partnerships, and collaboration between Indonesian and global companies.

The exhibition spans 13,000 square meters and showcases a broad range of technology solutions representing the development of Indonesia’s digital and industrial ecosystem. Around 45% of participating products are locally produced and certified under Indonesia’s Domestic Component Level (TKDN), highlighting the growing contribution of domestic industries to national technological capabilities and competitiveness.

Building a Technology Ecosystem from Upstream to Downstream

INTI 2026 brings together 15 strategic technology sectors that collectively represent the broader digital ecosystem, including:

The interconnectedness of these sectors demonstrates that digital transformation is no longer limited to connectivity infrastructure. It also involves how digital infrastructure can serve as a foundation for technology adoption across industries—from basic connectivity and data management to AI and IoT applications, digital security, robotics, drones, electronics, and advanced manufacturing.

Through this integrated approach, INTI 2026 aims to encourage the development of a connected technology ecosystem. KADIN Indonesia is supporting this journey, from strengthening basic connectivity as a fundamental foundation to advancing smart manufacturing, enabling digital technologies to generate broader impacts on productivity and national industrial development.

Firlie Ganinduto, Head of the Digital Ecosystem Agency at KADIN Indonesia, said the partnership between KADIN Indonesia and INTI could help address the evolving needs of industry.

“This year, KADIN Indonesia is present as the official institutional partner. For us, this partnership is highly relevant because the business community is not only showcasing technology, but also connecting industrial needs, government policy directions, and innovations that can be implemented in real-world applications,” said Firlie.

AI Driving Indonesia Toward Smarter Industries

Artificial Intelligence has emerged as one of the key technologies shaping today’s digital ecosystem. AI adoption presents significant opportunities to improve efficiency, productivity, service quality, and the ability of industries to respond to rapidly evolving technologies.

For national development, however, AI advancement must go hand in hand with infrastructure readiness, data security, human capital development, and the ability of domestic industries to adopt and develop emerging technologies.

For this reason, the AI Experience at INTI 2026 is not positioned as a standalone technology segment, but as an integral part of the broader ecosystem, connecting AI with other sectors and technologies.

The development of this integrated ecosystem is expected to contribute to a smarter, more efficient, innovative, and globally competitive Indonesian industry.

Strengthening National Industry Through Collaboration

INTI 2026 is expected to contribute to Indonesia’s efforts to build a stronger digital ecosystem while reinforcing the foundations of its national industries. By bringing together technology companies, government institutions, associations, investors, academics, startups, and industry players, the exhibition creates opportunities for partnerships, investment, knowledge exchange, and broader implementation of technology solutions.

More than simply an exhibition, INTI 2026 serves as a collaborative platform that connects technology with real industrial needs. The participation of both domestic and international stakeholders is expected to accelerate knowledge and technology transfer, create new business opportunities, and strengthen Indonesia’s connection to the global technology value chain.

By connecting basic connectivity, digital infrastructure, AI, cybersecurity, IoT, and smart manufacturing, INTI 2026 represents a collective effort to strengthen Indonesia’s position in technology and industry while advancing an integrated digital ecosystem from upstream to downstream.
