Discovering the Magnificence of Indonesia (DMI) Expo 2025 was officially launched on August 11, 2025, at the Auditorium of the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia in Jakarta. This international exhibition will be held from October 30 to November 2, 2025, in Jaarbeurs, Utrecht, the Netherlands. It will serve as a strategic platform to strengthen trade relations, promote tourism, and attract investment from Europe to Indonesia.
Carrying the theme "Building Strategic & Sustainable Partnerships for Indonesia in the European Market," DMI Expo 2025 targets more than 15,000 international visitors and brings together more than 150 buyers and investors from various European countries.
"DMI Expo 2025 is not just an exhibition, but a strategic platform to bring together businesspeople, policymakers, investors, and the global community on one grand stage. Here, we build stories, strengthen our image, and create real opportunities," said Dicky Triono Yunanto, Chief Executive of DMI Expo 2025.
DMI Expo 2025 Featured Programs:
Trade: B2B Business Matching, SME Showcase, and promotional area for Indonesia's leading products.
Tourism: Tourism Pavilion, Indonesia Cultural & Culinary Showcase, and Destination Forum to attract European tourists.
Investment: Trade, Tourism & Investment Forum, as well as investment matching sessions to bring together investors and strategic project developers.

Exclusive Access for MSMEs
DMI Expo 2025 provides a golden opportunity for Indonesian MSMEs to reach the European market. Through the B2B Business Matching program, businesses can negotiate directly with potential buyers in the food and beverage (F&B) and fashion sectors, handicrafts, wellness, spices, and even tourism destinations.
In the previous event (DMI Expo 2024), this event recorded a potential business value of €1.75 million through the signing of 7 MoUs between business actors and international partners.
"Indonesia-Netherlands trade performance is the foundation of a strong partnership. For example, the Netherlands is one of Indonesia's main trading partners in Europe. We can still increase this potential, especially through closer collaboration between the government, businesses, and the Indonesian diaspora in Europe. DMI Expo 2025 presents a dynamic platform to expand networks, showcase innovations, and build sustainable partnerships," said Fajarini Puntodewi, SH, M.Si (Director General of National Export Development, Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia) in her remarks.
"Many MSMEs dream of their products entering the European market. Through the DMI Expo, that dream becomes a reality because we provide a direct bridge between Indonesian entrepreneurs and global buyers," explained Bayu Wicaksono Putro, Director of Market Development and Export Information, Directorate General of National Export Development, Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia.
The Strategic Role of the Indonesian Diaspora
One of the key strengths of DMI Expo 2025 is the full support of the Indonesian diaspora community in Europe. Negeriku Foundation has been appointed as the Diaspora Host and will play an active role in promoting the event, expanding its market network, and presenting cultural and culinary programs throughout the event.
Latif Gau, Chairman of the Negeriku Foundation, stated that the diaspora plays a crucial role as a bridge between Indonesia and the world. "We are ready to be part of the success of DMI Expo 2025, bringing Indonesia closer to the European community."
Collaboration with the diaspora will be realized through the Indonesian Cultural Performance, the Indonesian Culinary Pavilion, and cultural workshops that showcase the richness of Indonesia's cultural heritage to an international audience.
The launch of DMI Expo 2025 was attended by representatives from various ministries, industry associations, diaspora communities, and international partners. This cross-sector support reinforces DMI Expo's position as a leading platform integrating the promotion of Indonesian products, culture, and investment opportunities to the European market.
With a collaborative spirit and a positive track record from previous years, DMI Expo 2025 is targeted to generate even greater business and diplomatic achievements. The exhibition is expected to be a catalyst for Indonesia's economic transformation on a global scale.
