he German-Indonesian Chamber of Industry and Commerce
(EKONID) acts as the strategic interface between the German and
Indonesian economies. We represent the bilateral business interests
of Indonesian and German member companies and institutions, further
providing a platform for international knowledge transfer. Our core business
is to support our members from both countries in pursuing new trade and
investment opportunities.
EKONID
Aside from its services, which are necessary to support EKONID members
effectively in regard to market entry or expanding their businesses in
Indonesia, EKONID in Jakarta also serves as a meeting point and an info-
center, as well as the first address for enquiries from companies interested
in operating in Indonesia. Working under the worldwide AHK-brand
DEinternational, which ensures the uniformity of services worldwide,
EKONID offers advice, consultation and representation. Our services range
from market information to customized advisory services for market
entry, Business Partner Search, market information, legal information and
corporate services, tax services, personal services and trade fairs.
Also represented in the EKONID office is Germany Trade and Invest (GTAI),
the foreign trade and inward investment agency of the Federal Republic
of Germany. GTAI promotes Germany as a business and technology center
for investments, further supporting German-based companies with market
information.
EKONID is represented as well in Surabaya through Wisma Jerman, a
unique cooperation between the Goethe-Institut Jakarta and the chamber,
with the support of the German embassy Jakarta. Thus, through numerous
events as well as by providing the service portfolio of EKONID, Wisma Jerman
is an important pillar in the overall EKONID network.
