ASIAWORLDVIEW – Indonesia Retail Summit & Expo (IRSE) 2026 resmi dibuka, Rabu (26/8/2026), sebagai puncak dari rangkaian program ritel sepanjang Agustus 2026. Acara ini juga sekaligus gencar kampanye “Belanja di Indonesia Aja”, Indonesia Shopping Festival, dan peringatan Hari Ritel Modern Indonesia. Ketua Umum Himpunan Peritel dan Penyewa Pusat Perbelanjaan Indonesia (HIPPINDO), Budiardjo Iduansjah, menegaskan bahwa forum ini bukan sekadar ajang pameran biasa, melainkan sebuah momentum strategis untuk memperkuat fondasi ekosistem ritel Indonesia. Hal itu dilakukan agar mampu menjadi tuan rumah sekaligus panutan di tingkat Asia bahkan dunia. “IRSE 2026 dirancang sebagai ruang pertemuan terpadu bagi seluruh pemangku kepentingan, mulai dari peritel besar, tenant, regulator, akademisi, hingga investor dan pelaku usaha mikro, kecil, dan menengah (UMKM), dengan tujuan menciptakan sinergi lintas sektor yang selama ini menjadi tantangan dalam pengembangan industri ritel nasional,” ia mengatakan. Ia juga menekankan bahwa transformasi digital bukan lagi sebuah pilihan, melainkan keharusan bagi industri ritel Indonesia. Apalagi di tengah perubahan perilaku konsumen yang semakin cepat—didorong oleh penetrasi internet yang terus meningkat dan tumbuhnya generasi digital native—pelaku ritel nasional dituntut untuk beradaptasi dengan teknologi-teknologi baru seperti kecerdasan buatan (AI), pemanfaatan big data untuk analisis perilaku konsumen, serta penguatan rantai pasok (supply chain resilience) yang tangguh. “Ketertinggalan dalam adopsi teknologi akan membuat ritel Indonesia tersisih dalam kompetisi global yang semakin ketat. Oleh karena itu, IRSE 2026 diposisikan tidak hanya sebagai panggung pameran produk, tetapi juga sebagai pusat knowledge sharing dan pertukaran ide antar pelaku industri, sehingga setiap peserta dapat memperkuat kompetensinya dan menghadapi dinamika pasar dengan lebih percaya diri,” ia menambahkan. Ia juga menyoroti dimensi diplomasi ekonomi yang melekat pada penyelenggaraan IRSE 2026. Menurutnya, Indonesia harus mampu menunjukkan kepemimpinan regional di bidang ritel, dan summit ini adalah simbol nyata dari ambisi tersebut. Forum ini juga menjadi wadah bagi investor global untuk menemukan pipeline startup-startup ritel Indonesia yang siap berkembang. Alhasil dapat mendorong akselerasi pertumbuhan industri secara berkelanjutan. “Kami berterima kasih karena mendapatkan dukungan penuh dari pemerintah dan mitra global. IRSE 2026 diharapkan mampu melahirkan kebijakan-kebijakan strategis serta inovasi-inovasi yang tidak hanya memperkuat posisi Indonesia dalam rantai nilai perdagangan internasional, tetapi juga menciptakan iklim investasi yang lebih kondusif,” pungkasnya. Ia berharap bahwa melalui forum ini, ritel Indonesia mampu bertransformasi menjadi industri berbasis konsumen yang lebih adaptif terhadap tren global, inklusif terhadap seluruh lapisan masyarakat, dan berdaya saing tinggi. Dengan kolaborasi lintas sektor yang erat dan dukungan kebijakan yang tepat, ia optimistis bahwa Indonesia tidak hanya akan menjadi pasar yang besar, tetapi juga akan menjadi panutan dalam pengembangan ekosistem ritel di kawasan Asia. source: https://asiaworldview.com/transformasi-digital-jadi-fokus-utama-indonesia-retail-summit-2026/

JAKARTA - The Inabuyer B2B2G Expo 2025 activity will be held again on 23-25 July. This is the third Inabuyer event after it was previously successfully held on 15-17 May 2024.

"Through this event, LKPP sees concrete efforts in carrying out the mandate of Presidential Regulation (Perpres) 46/2025 to strengthen the local supply chain and encourage MSME participation in the procurement of government goods/services," he said. " Cross-sector collaborations like this will accelerate economic transformation as well as strengthen the nation's independence through spending on domestic products," he added. Meanwhile, the General Chairman of the Indonesian Shopping Center Retailers and Tenants Association (Hippindo) Budihardjo Iduansjah targets that the transaction value of the 2025 B2B2G Expo Inabuyer Activities can reach IDR 2 trillion. "So, it turns out that this is an achievement. (For) 2023 transactions in Inabuyer are IDR 1 trillion, 2024 (as large as) IDR 1.5 trillion and our target this year is IDR 2 trillion," he said. Budihardjo hopes that the Inabuyer B2B2G Expo 2025 activity can strengthen collaboration between the local retail sector and MSMEs. "Inabuyers are the ideal forum for local MSMEs to expand their product distribution to a wider market, including in modern shopping centers," he concluded. Various interesting agendas will be present at this event, including business matching, exhibitions of local superior products and MSMEs, panel discussions, talk shows as well as signing Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and cooperation contracts between MSMEs and various parties. In addition, the Inabuyer Award will also be given to entrepreneurs, ministries/agencies, BUMN and the private sector who show significant innovation and contribution in supporting domestic products. Not only that, but this expo also provides various educational activities for MSMEs, including workshops and seminars that discuss digital marketing strategies, strengthening branding and improving product quality in order to be able to compete in the international market. By cooperating with various industry experts, participants are expected to gain insight that can be applied directly in their business development.

AKURAT JAKARTA - The INABUYER B2B2G Expo 2026 officially closed at the SMESCO Building in Jakarta on Wednesday (May 7, 2026), after recording potential transactions of IDR 2.2 trillion over the three days. The exhibition, organized by the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), in collaboration with the Government Goods/Services Procurement Policy Institute, the Association of Indonesian Retailers and Shopping Center Tenants, and SMESCO Indonesia, brought together more than 804 business actors from across Indonesia with ministries/institutions, state-owned enterprises (SOEs), the private sector, and modern retailers. During the event, 131 agencies and companies participated as buyers and suppliers from ministries/institutions, SOEs, and the private sector. Various strategic agendas were held, ranging from business matching, exhibitions of superior products, panel discussions, to the signing of memorandums of understanding (MoUs) and commitments to cross-sector cooperation. The Chairman of the Indonesian Shopping Center Retailers and Tenants Association, Budihardjo Iduansjah, stated that the potential transaction achievement demonstrates the significant opportunities for MSMEs and local products to strengthen domestic trade. "The potential transactions achieved during the three-day event demonstrate that collaboration between the government, state-owned enterprises, modern retailers, and business actors can open broader market access while strengthening the domestic supply chain," Budihardjo said at the Closing Ceremony of the INABUYER B2B2G Expo 2026. According to him, amidst global economic challenges, strengthening the domestic trade ecosystem must continue to be a priority to encourage investment, new store openings, and the growth of shopping centers as competitive modern trade hubs. Budihardjo also assessed that priority government programs need to be implemented in a targeted and sustainable manner to have a direct impact on the community's economy. He cited the presence of strategic program booths such as National Housing and Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) at this year's INABUYER as evidence that government spending and project needs can be directly linked to the capacity of MSMEs and local products. "When spending is absorbed domestically and the domestic supply chain is active, it will create a multiplier effect on people's purchasing power, business growth, job creation, and strengthening the national economy," he said. Meanwhile, Temmy Satya Permana, Deputy for Small Business at the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises, stated that the enthusiasm of MSMEs during the INABUYER B2B2G Expo 2026 was a crucial opportunity to strengthen the national business ecosystem. "This event is not just about meeting and transacting, but also a platform for MSMEs to learn, collaborate, and strengthen the national business ecosystem. I am confident that this momentum will propel MSMEs to the next level and open up more opportunities for sustainable partnerships," said Temmy. At the closing ceremony, the committee also presented INABUYER Awards 2026 to several exhibitors. PT Regon Makmur Sejahtera won the Most Favorite Exhibitor award based on social media, while Bank BRI was named the owner of the best booth. The Ministry of Transportation won the buyer with the greatest transaction potential in the ministry/institution category, PT Pertamina Persero won the BUMN category, and Indomaret was awarded the private sector with the greatest potential for cooperation. Through this event, the INABUYER B2B2G Expo is expected to continue to be a catalyst in strengthening an inclusive and sustainable domestic trade ecosystem, while simultaneously encouraging the increased role of MSMEs in national economic development. source: https://jakarta.akurat.co/umkm/854930/inabuyer-b2b2g-expo-2026-resmi-ditutup-catat-potensi-transaksi-rp2-2-triliun-dalam-tiga-hari
