Indonesia has a population of 238 million, a gross
domestic product of 720 billion US
dollars (2010) and is one of the 20 largest economies in the world. The
country’s building industry is booming and in the raw materials sector, too,
major investment is scheduled for the medium term – all of which are good reasons
why bauma should focus more closely on this economic region and the exciting opportunities
it offers for the future. 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 construction equipment, which takes place from April
15 to 21, 2013 in Munich. 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, VDMA
(Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau). The concept was first
implemented in 2001, and each time it offers the chosen country many benefits.
So, too, at bauma 2013: The representatives from Indonesia will have the
opportunity, in the lecture program, 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. Here bauma
exhibitors and visitors can come together to discuss the partner country and
projects.
There is no
shortage of projects to discuss: Indonesia’s GDP has after all been
growing steadily for years, in 2011 again by 6.2 percent. At the same time, in
2010, the building industry turned in above-average real growth of seven
percent. Investment is expanding in almost all areas, project activity is also
increasing. By 2025 the government wants to invest 465 billion US dollars 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 euros are to be implemented. The number of
building companies is rising steadily – in Jakarta alone around 450 large-sized building
firms are registered. Around 60 percent of the building activity is concentrated
on the island of Java.
