representatives of the interests of the German
economy have built strong networks in a number
of prospective areas. Starting with the foundation of the

platform for international knowledge transfer. Our core

Aside from its services, which are necessary to support
EKONID members effectively in regards 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 excellent
advice. 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 the 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

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,
