Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Industry spotlighted four main targets that Indonesia is keen to achieve as the official partner country at the world's largest industrial technology exhibition Hannover Messe 2023.

The four main targets for participating in this year's event are: presenting the roadmap for Making Indonesia 4.0, fostering industrial cooperation, promoting foreign investment and exports, and improving bilateral relations with Germany as the host.

"The Ministry of Industry hopes that the Hannover Messe 2023 will become an important momentum to show Indonesia's ability to work together, collaborate, and advance as a global community," Director General of Resilience, Regional, and International Industrial Access (Dirjen KPAII) of the ministry Eko S. A. Cahyanto noted in a statement in Jakarta, Tuesday.

Making Indonesia 4.0 is introduced as a road map for accelerating the implementation of Industry 4.0 technology in the country. This roadmap covers inclusive sustainability, start-up business, and technology development, as well as supporting a circular economy.

Apart from that, issues related to supporting the Making Indonesia 4.0 program will also be presented, he said.

Cahyanto elaborated that the Making Indonesia 4.0 roadmap is oriented toward five main elements: artificial intelligence, the Internet of things, enterprise wearables, advanced robotics, and 3D printing.

"This main element is intended to support the expansion of the digital economy and incentives for the industry," he stated.

Furthermore, Cahyanto said, Indonesia would make the most of its role as the Official Partner Country of Hannover Messe 2023 to highlight to the international community, especially businesses, and industry regarding the policy of facilitating investment in Indonesia.

The policies provided by the government include ease of investment, starting from the stage of establishing a business entity, the stage of starting a business or the legality of construction based on the Indonesian Business Field Standard Classification (KBLI) that comprises basic requirements and sectoral requirements as well as the stage of business implementation or operational legality based on non-KBLI.

Indonesia is the first ASEAN country to become an official partner country at the Hannover Messe thrice. With the spirit of "Infinite Journey" at the Hannover Messe 2023 that will be held on April 17-21, 2023, Indonesia will present the latest technological advancements and potential industrial technology investments by organizing related events that are summarized in the Official Programs.

Discussions with co-exhibitors from Indonesia will be facilitated through various agendas, including organizing business summits as well as seminars that will take place at the Indonesian Pavilion.

"The issues that will be discussed by the co-exhibitors from Indonesia represent the six themes of the IPC Hannover Messe 2023 and will focus on the conversion of traditional manufacturing to sustainability and innovation, human resource development, start-up business development, investment, and industrial areas, as well as energy transition. A total of 157 co-exhibitors will participate in the Indonesian Pavilion representing the six themes," he explained.

Indonesia adopted the tagline "Infinite Journey" at its participation in the Hannover Messe 2023 to describe Indonesia's journey towards a limitless future with a spirit of optimism and broad future potential, without being limited by anything.

With this tagline, Indonesia targets that participation in the 2023 Hannover Messe can increase inclusive sustainability, develop technology, and support a circular economy.
