The 2026 Shanghai Fair Economic and Trade (Humanities) Exhibition (Shanghai Fair Indonesia 2026) will be held from November 11 to 12 at JIExpo Kemayoran in Jakarta. Hundreds of Shanghai enterprises from the Yangtze River Delta will connect with local Indonesian buyers, and the two sides plan to expand trade cooperation in five potential areas, introducing technology, finding suppliers, building distribution networks, and establishing industrial partnerships for Indonesian enterprises.
The exhibition's key cooperation areas include artificial intelligence and smart manufacturing, manufacturing, healthcare, consumer goods, and trade in services. Among them, the innovative technology section is the most popular, covering industrial automation, integrated circuits, low-carbon technologies, new energy, and the low-altitude economy developed on the basis of drones, which can help Indonesian manufacturers improve production efficiency and gain access to technology transfer channels.
The manufacturing section displays new materials, building materials, industrial equipment, packaging, metals, and chemical raw materials, suitable for local enterprises seeking stable supply chain partners.
The healthcare track features a rich variety of exhibits, including medical equipment, testing reagents, exosome extraction platforms, intraocular lenses, and supporting materials such as activated carbon and carbon fiber.
The consumer goods category is diverse, covering textiles and apparel, smart home products, kitchen and dining supplies, cultural and creative porcelain, personal care products, and more, bringing numerous product selection opportunities to Indonesian importers, distributors, and retailers. The final major section is trade in services, covering cultural tourism, education, testing and certification, cross-border logistics, digital trade, financial and legal services, and human resources services.
The forum agenda is also well arranged: the Vice Chairman of the Trade Committee of the Shanghai Federation of Service Industries said that this event is not just an ordinary exhibition, but aims to facilitate concrete cooperation. Interested buyers are advised to register as early as possible and clearly submit their needs to increase the matching success rate. The exhibition is supported by multiple Chinese and foreign institutions. Indonesian partners include the Chinese Committee of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Bogor City Government. The exhibition has previously been held in South Korea and Thailand; its arrival in Indonesia this time will build a regular matchmaking channel between the Shanghai and Indonesian business communities.
