Business matching or business meeting was held by the Ministry of Industry to support small and medium industries in Indonesia to take part in the government’s goods and services procurement program. Business meeting activities will be initiated starting in 2022 in Bali.
The business meeting is in line with Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number 2 of 2022 concerning the Acceleration of Increasing the Use of Domestic Products and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Products in order to successfully achieve the National Movement of Proudly Made in Indonesia.
During a press conference for the Business Matching 2024 event in Sanur, Denpasar City, Secretary General of the Ministry of Industry Eko SA Cahyanto mentioned that there is potential for around Rp 1,200 trillion from government spending that can be absorbed. The budget is available in ministries, agencies, businesses, or local governments, which can be absorbed by domestic producers who supply goods and services through government procurement.
Furthermore, Eko stated, the Ministry of Industry encourages domestic goods providers and producers to take care of domestic component level certification (TKDN) and enter their products into government shopping applications or electronic catalogs (e -catalog).

The business meeting event held by the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) took place starting Monday until Thursday (7/3/2024). The event was combined with an exhibition, a talk show, and the presentation of awards for the use of domestic products, and was also attended by regional governments and state-owned companies.

When giving her speech at the beginning of the business meeting on Monday, Secretary General of the Ministry of Education and Culture Research and Technology, Suharti, stated that the event supports the National Movement of Proudly Made in Indonesia. The hope is to bring together the government and business entities as budget holders with producers.
Suharti stated that optimizing the use of domestic products as a substitution for imported products will directly impact the strengthening and growth of the national economy. In addition, it will create job opportunities and absorb the workforce, as well as other fiscal multiplier effects, including opening up investment opportunities.

Suharti added that the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) showcased innovative products from research programs and collaborations with the industrial sector, as well as the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), at the Business Matching 2024 event in Bali.
Meanwhile, met separately at the 2024 Business Matching exhibition, the Chair of the Indonesian Nonwoven Association (INWA), who is also the Operational Director of PT Empat Empat Sakti, Velda Agustino, revealed that the business meeting was an implementation of the program to Increase the Use of Domestic Products. Home Affairs (P3DN) supports the government in purchasing goods and services domestically. “In the current conditions, this program really helps us in the domestic industry,” he said.
The Ministry of Industry is encouraging domestic product providers and manufacturers to obtain domestic component level certification (TKDN) and register their products in the government procurement application or e-catalog.
Velda added that the government’s P3DN program is also expected to encourage domestic companies to embrace local raw material or semi-finished goods producers in Indonesia, thus increasing the domestic content value (TKDN) of the end products purchased by the government. Velda also stated that the TKDN certification program still needs to be socialized among domestic producers of goods and services.
“We also hope that the government will require the winning company of procurement tenders to involve domestic suppliers,” said Velda.
