Doing Business in Indonesia 101

Leave a Comment / Community Events, Indonesia / By

As the fourth most populous country in the world, Indonesia’s large domestic market offers a wide range of business and investment opportunities for Singapore companies.

In the year of 2018, the total investment by Singaporeans in Indonesia has increased by 9.1%, or USD 9.2 billion, and this again puts Singapore as one of the biggest source of investments in Indonesia.

The age of digitalisation has broken down boundaries between countries and made the world we live in more accessible. Needless to say, this also opens up new markets and opportunities overseas. Diverse Origins (DO) is taking a more outward approach in encouraging startups and SMEs from different countries to come together to seek out and optimise these opportunities together.

Seminar Highlights

  1. Uncover business opportunities in Indonesia, and what to look out for when doing business in Indonesia.
  2. Uncovering business opportunities in Indonesia’s coffee industry
