The initiative was announced ahead of the exhibition in Yekaterinburg, Russia (05/07).

Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita said Indonesia's participation in INNOPROM 2026 is a strategic step to strengthen the country's industrial position in the global market while expanding international partnerships that support investment, industrial development, and manufacturing competitiveness.

"Indonesia's participation in INNOPROM 2026 is a strategic step to strengthen the position of our national industry in the global market while expanding international partnerships that can generate investment, industrial development, and improve the competitiveness of Indonesia's manufacturing sector," Agus said.

Indonesia Targets Industrial Cooperation Through INNOPROM 2026

Ahead of the exhibition's opening, Indonesia and Russia held a joint press conference titled Indonesia and Russia: Building Industrial Partnership at INNOPROM 2026. The event introduced Indonesia's industrial potential to Russian businesses and opened opportunities for new cooperation.

Director General of Industrial Resilience, Regional Development, and International Industrial Access at the Ministry of Industry, Tri Supondy, said Indonesia is seeking more concrete industrial partnerships through its participation in INNOPROM 2026.

"We are using INNOPROM 2026 to connect Indonesian industries with the right partners in Russia and Eurasia. Our focus is not only on expanding trade, but also on encouraging industrial investment, joint manufacturing development, and technology transfer that can strengthen the competitiveness of Indonesia's national industry," Tri said.

Indonesia Brings 50 Co-Exhibitors to Expand Business Opportunities

Indonesia is participating with 50 co-exhibitors and institutions representing agro-industry, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, specialized manufacturing and consumer goods, advanced manufacturing and engineering, as well as industrial estates and investment.

The participants will take part in business matching sessions, business forums, bilateral meetings, and sectoral discussions designed to accelerate business cooperation, industrial investment, and joint manufacturing development.

Indonesia is also presenting a 1,512-square-meter Indonesia Pavilion to showcase the country's industrial strengths and provide a meeting place for businesses, investors, business associations, and policymakers from various countries.

The pavilion will allow Indonesian companies to introduce their products, technologies, and investment opportunities to potential partners from the Eurasian region.

Russia Welcomes Indonesia as Official Partner Country

Russian Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Alexei Gruzdev said Indonesia is Southeast Asia's largest industrial economy and one of Russia's key international industrial partners.

"Indonesia is the largest industrial economy in Southeast Asia and one of Russia's main international industrial partners. Indonesia becoming the first Southeast Asian country to serve as the Official Partner Country at INNOPROM 2026 reflects the importance of the relationship between our two countries," he said.

Sverdlovsk Region Governor Denis Pasler also welcomed Indonesia's participation as the Official Partner Country.

"The Sverdlovsk Region is the heart of INNOPROM and one of Russia's main industrial centers. Therefore, we welcome Indonesia as the Official Partner Country. We hope the meetings during INNOPROM will become the beginning of broader cooperation between Indonesian industries and companies in our region, including investment, joint manufacturing projects, and technology development," Pasler said.

INNOPROM 2026 Supports Long-Term Industrial Partnerships

Anton Atrashkin, Business Program Director of Formika Event and organizer of INNOPROM, said Indonesia's participation as the Official Partner Country is one of the exhibition's main highlights. According to him, the participation reflects the growing economic relationship between Indonesia and Russia while opening new opportunities for mutually beneficial industrial cooperation.

As the largest international industrial exhibition in the Eurasian region, INNOPROM brings together industrial companies, investors, business associations, and policymakers from various countries. The exhibition attracts more than 48,000 visitors from around 60 countries and provides Indonesia with a platform to expand industrial partnerships, attract investment, and increase market access for Indonesian manufactured products.

Tri said Indonesia's participation should deliver long-term industrial cooperation beyond the exhibition.

"The success of Indonesia's participation in INNOPROM is not measured solely by the number of meetings or agreements reached during the exhibition, but by the follow-up actions that emerge afterward. We want to see more industrial investment, co-production projects, technology transfer, and manufacturing cooperation that create added value for both Indonesia and Russia," he added.

Through its participation in INNOPROM 2026, Indonesia aims to generate more industrial investment, joint manufacturing projects, and technology transfer to strengthen the competitiveness of its manufacturing sector.

The cooperation is also expected to expand market access for Indonesian manufactured products in the Eurasian region while strengthening the long-term economic partnership between Indonesia and Russia.
