News this week: As part of the Indonesian government’s strategy
to promote trade and business through MICE activities, a large new exhibition
centre will be built in Jakarta. The new venue, the Jakarta International
Exhibition and Convention Centre (JIECC), will be located in the centre of the city.
According to Indra
Sukirno, executive director and chief executive of the Jakarta
Convention and Exhibition Bureau, JIECC will be used for conventions,
exhibitions, sports and entertainment events. The venue will cover a total area
of 20 hectares, with a 60,000 m2 exhibition hall and a 6,000 m2
ballroom – which can be divided into three sections.
Construction of phase 1
of JIECC will begin later this month and is expected to be completed in October
2014. Phase 2 is scheduled to be finished in 2017.
When asked about the
types of exhibitions to be held at JIECC, Sukirno stated, “We will organise
business-to-consumer exhibitions, but we will switch to industry-specific
events that focus, for example, on handicrafts, furniture, agriculture, car
production, etc.”
