JAKARTA - Had been postponed due to the 2024 Election earlier this year, Franchise and License Expo Indonesia (FLEI) will be held again on May 10-12, 2024, supported by PT Panorama Media, WALI Association, Kadin, Franchise Academy Indonesia, and various ministries.

Still in its 22nd edition, FLEI is now increasingly emphasizing its role as a platform for the entrepreneur ecosystem and a meeting of various spectrums of franchise and licensing business opportunities in Indonesia.

"We will highlight five business channels, namely franchising, business opportunities, IP licenses, resellers and distributors, and retail solutions," explained Royanto Handaya, President Director of Panorama Media.

There are more than 200 brands that will enliven FLEI this time, and 50-60% of the participants are still dominated by the food and beverages (F&B) segment. However, according to Handaya when met at the FLEI Press Conference today (29/4), after the pandemic, several new business segments are now starting to rise, such as laundry, followed by the retail segment.

Titled "Connecting Business," FLEI 2024 will present partnership business opportunities, to grab-run-grow sessions for business people and prospective business people, as well as consultations with official institutions related to franchising, including WALI and Franchise Academy Indonesia.

"The enthusiasm of the visitors was amazing," said Valentino Ivan, one of FLEI's regular exhibitors, who is also the Chairman. Ivan mentioned that with the large number of FLEI participants each year, brand owners are required to be creative in marketing and offering their partnership programs. "There are also those who provide discounts and extraordinary advantages," Ivan continued.

As the organizer, Handaya targets to attract 25,000 visitors in the upcoming three-day exhibition. "The Indonesian economy and public enthusiasm are good," he added.

For information, this time FLEI will be held at JIEXPO Kemayoran, May 10-12, 2024. FLEI 2024 tickets can be purchased at franchise-expo.co.id with a price of IDR60,000/ticket/day. (ZH/LM)
