WELCOME MESSAGE

e COMM EXPO

Hilda Satyadi
Project Director
PT Omni eComm Expo

Welcome to e2eCommerce Indonesia 2017! After going through our first conference and
exhibition in 2016, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you all again to witness the latest
innovation that fulfils the end-to-end Commerce ecosystem in Indonesia.
The value of eCommerce transactions in Indonesia is expected to increase by 50%, at most,
to USD45 billion in 2017 from an estimated USD30 billion last year. This figure is expected
to rise to USD130 billion by 2020 as the country has one of the biggest digital populations
in the region with 132 million internet users and 69 million smartphone users. Retailers
will have the advantage to leverage on the mobile-first consumer behaviour that demands
a fully optimised, fast-response and automated experience especially in the consumer
goods sector. Despite its challenging geographical conditions with 17,000 islands spread
across the archipelago and lack of infrastructure, the opportunity for eCommerce and
cross-border logistics to grow is there for the taking.

The growing opportunities for investments are salient and evident and at the e2eCommerce
Indonesia 2017, it will be the preferred level-playing field for sourcing and networking
amongst retail and marketplace, parcel & logistics, technology & payment solution and
cyber security from Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and USA.
As global industry players have set their eyes on Indonesia’s eCommerce potential, the
show provides a timely platform for local and international brands and SMEs to exchange
sights, form strategic partnership and find innovative solutions to proliferate their business.
This year, our conference will focus to showcase not only industry best practices, but also
the latest innovations that drive efficiency in eCommerce fulfillment. Join our knowledge
sharing sessions with over 40 industry leaders to understand the industry trends and
examine real-world case studies and practical methods of doing business in the end-to-
end commerce.
Finally, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to our key industry partners and
sponsors for their support in this event. I warmly welcome you again and wish you an
enjoyable experience in e2eCommerce Indonesia 2017!
