Indonesia has a population of 238 million, a gross domestic product of US$720 billion (2010) and is one of the world's 20 largest economies.

The building industry is booming and in the raw materials sector major investment is scheduled for the medium term.

“All all of which are good reasons why 688 Bauma should focus more closely on this economic region and the exciting opportunities it offers for the future,” says 3995 Messe München International (MMI), organiser of bauma 2013, to be held in Munich, Germany, from 15-21 April.

“Consequently, Indonesia has been chosen as the partner country for the next edition of bauma, the world’s largest trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and equipment.

“The aim is to leverage Indonesia’s significant business potential for the international construction machinery, building materials machinery and mining machinery industry. A co-initiator of the partner country concept of bauma, along with Messe München, is the German Engineering Federation, 1331 VDMA (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau). The concept was first implemented in 2001, and each time it offers the chosen country many benefits,” says Messe München.

At bauma 2013, Indonseian representatives will have the opportunity, in the lecture programme, to present their country to the trade audience as an investment location and partner for upcoming projects.

As well as an Indonesia Forum, during the entire show there will also be an Indonesia Business Lounge, presented by the VDMA, where exhibitors and visitors can discuss the partner country and projects.

Indonesia’s GDP has been growing steadily for years, and in 2011 rose by 6.2%. At the same time, in 2010, the building industry turned in above-average real growth of 7%.
Investment is expanding in almost all areas, project activity is also increasing, and by 2025 the government wants to invest $465 billion in expanding the infrastructure, in oil, coal and gas extraction and in the ‘electrification’ of the country.

According to government plans, by 2014 projects worth €160 billion ($124 billion) are to be implemented. The number of building companies is rising steadily, and in the capital Jakarta around 450 large-sized building companies are registered. Around 60% of the building activity is concentrated on the island of Java.
