The biggest industry fair in Europe offers a large opportunity to attract investors to Indonesia, he noted through a press statement on Monday.
"We expect that there will be more investment from other countries, from German and European countries specifically," he noted at the Hannover Fairground, Hannover, Germany, Sunday.
According to Kansong, several parties had already committed to investing in Indonesia before the Hannover Messe 2023 was opened.
"There had been commitment of around Rp30 trillion (US$2.03 billion) to invest in Indonesia, and Insya Allah (God willing), the figure will continue to increase," he remarked.
The Indonesia Pavilion in Hannover Messe 2023 showcased the Pinisi Boat. According to Kansong, the Pinisi Boat depicts Indonesia's journey toward advancement through investment and technological developments.
Indonesia participates by raising the theme of "Infinite Journey," showcasing various technological innovations at the Indonesia Pavilion, including those from the government, educational institutions, and several domestic corporations.
