JAKARTA, Indonesia: With 229 exhibiting brands and businesses and more than 4,000 visitors, the inaugural event of the Indonesia Dental Exhibition and Conference (IDEC) proved an all-round success. In addition to a high-quality scientific programme, the industry show especially was fruitful in presenting international companies with the unique opportunity to gain a foothold in the emerging Indonesian dental market.

“By leveraging on Koelnmesse’s extensive sales network in over 100 countries around the world and by working together with our counterparts in Indonesia, we’ve turned IDEC into a platform for both international and local companies to come together and explore new business partnerships,” explained Mathias Kuepper, Managing Director of Koelnmesse Pte Ltd in Singapore.

Of the 229 exhibitors, 81 per cent were from overseas, according to the organisers. Furthermore, featuring five national pavilions (Germany, Italy, South Korea, Switzerland and China), the exhibition was one of the first dental trade fairs in Indonesia to achieve such a strong international presence.

“IDEC 2017 has been successful in gaining the full support from the government as well as key stakeholders in the industry and we hope to continue this momentum into IDEC 2019,” commented Bambang Setiawan, President Director of Traya Eksibisi Internasional. “We see a great opportunity for IDEC to become the central dental event for dental professionals in Indonesia.”

IDEC 2017 was held from 15 to 17 September under the theme “Modern science and technology for the future of Indonesian dentistry”. According to event chairperson Dr Diono Susilo, the scientific programme was designed to cover as many aspects of dentistry as possible and aimed at inspiring attendees to provide patients with a better standard of dental care.

The event, which was jointly organised by the Indonesian dental association (Persatuan Dokter Gigi Indonesia), Koelnmesse Pte Ltd and Traya Eksibisi Internasional, will return to Jakarta in 2019, alternating with IDEM Singapore.
