The 2024 Indonesia Franchise and License Expo (FLEI) business exhibition was recently held at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), showcasing more than 150 local and international brands as well as premium products and programs such as business meetings, business coaching sessions, and the 2024 Indonesian Latte Art Championship (ILAC). FLEI is a strategic platform for entrepreneurs and investors to collaborate, expand networks, and create business innovation in various fields. The President of Panorama Media stated that this event is more than just an exhibition. The 2024 FLEI Business Show is a meeting point for innovation and business opportunities. Here, entrepreneurs can find strategic partners to build a more sustainable business future. This proves to be in line with the government's policy, which is taking steps to update regulations in the franchise industry, introducing policies aimed at establishing a balance between partnerships and business sustainability. They just need to wait and see how it will be implemented, of course after the Red and White Cabinet ministers are formed and start working effectively; they certainly hope it will move in a better direction. FLEI 2024 not only promotes local businesses but also attracts global investor interest. The CEO of Asiawide Franchise Consultants emphasized the potential of the Indonesian market as a premium international business center. Foreign investor demand for investment opportunities in Indonesia is growing rapidly, and FLEI is an ideal platform for them to explore investments in local businesses while also bringing Indonesian brands to the global market. The franchise industry plays an important role in accelerating the development of MSMEs and the creative economy. The Chairman of WALI stated that the franchise model is an ideal solution for the rapid growth of MSMEs. Through FLEI, they provide training and business opportunities so that MSMEs can effectively accelerate growth. On the government side, the Vice Chairman of KADIN Indonesia emphasized KADIN's commitment to supporting an efficient and collaborative business ecosystem. Initiatives like FLEI strengthen cooperation between businesses and government sectors, creating synergies to accelerate trade and attract investment. Meanwhile, the Director of Domestic Trade at the Ministry of Trade emphasized that the government will continue to encourage regulations that are conducive to business and franchise development. They are committed to creating a business environment that supports market expansion and attracts investment. In addition, the Ministry of MSMEs emphasized that franchising and licensing are ideal solutions for the rapid growth of MSMEs. The ministry's representative stated that the government hopes FLEI can become a platform for MSMEs to gain knowledge, training, and broader business networks. On the other hand, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy highlighted the importance of collaboration between the franchise and tourism sectors in supporting tourism destination promotion and creative economy growth. Franchises in the culinary and hospitality sectors play an important role in strengthening Indonesia's tourism industry. Events like FLEI open up enormous opportunities for innovation in this field. The event also featured business meetings where industry experts, entrepreneurs, and policymakers gathered to discuss the latest trends. There were also business coaching sessions where participants could learn expansion strategies and business management directly from experienced mentors. In addition, a special buyer program provided opportunities for international investors to establish strategic partnerships with local businesses.
