The Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) supports the Franchise & License Expo Indonesia (FLEI) as the leading exhibition in the franchise and license industry. FLEI which carries the theme "Connecting Business" is held for three days, starting from May 10 to 12, 2024 at the Jakarta International Expo (JIEXPO).

"We positively welcome the holding of this event, especially regarding the importance of the franchise and license industry which not only helps drive economic growth, but also innovation in Indonesia," said Deputy Chairman of Kadin for Trade, Juan P. Adoe.

He added that conducive economic conditions are key to expanding market reach and improving operational standards, thus pushing Indonesia's franchise industry towards a more professional and standardized direction.

In addition to Kadin representatives, the opening ceremony was attended by important figures from various sectors, including Panorama Media President Director Royanto Handaya, Chairman of the Franchise and License Association (WALI) Levita Ginting Supit, Indonesian Minister of Cooperatives and SMEs Teten Masduki, Deputy Minister of Kemenparekraf Angela Herliani Tanoesoedibjo, and Director General of Domestic Trade Isy Karim.

"We are proud to organize FLEI which is an important platform for business people to find business opportunities, establish cooperation, and expand networks," said Royanto Handaya.

The exhibition received a positive response from exhibitors, visitors, and even the younger generation who participated in the Ecopreneur Challenge competition.

This enthusiasm gives Panorama Media hope that FLEI will not only be a franchise exhibition, but also a catalyst for new business growth in Indonesia.

Responding to this vision, WALI Chairperson Levita Ginting Supit stated that effective regulation is the foundation that allows the franchise industry to develop smoothly.

WALI's commitment to creating a conducive regulatory environment continues to drive the growth of the sector, proving that good governance is key.

FLEI focuses not only on introducing the franchise industry, but also on licensing, particularly licensing the use of Character IP which is becoming a new strategy to increase sales.

With hundreds of top brands from various industry segments set to attend, this event is the ultimate destination for professionals looking to expand their business network, understand the latest trends, and explore diverse partnership schemes-from franchising to strategic collaborations.

It is the perfect opportunity to open or expand a business, find the right partner and embark on a new venture.

More than just an exhibition, FLEI is also a learning platform through a series of engaging business conferences.

Participants had the opportunity to listen and interact directly with leading experts in management, finance, natural resources, marketing, and operations.

The conference not only revealed strategic ways to capitalize on existing market opportunities, but also offered strategies for adapting to changes in the global economy.
