Indonesia Chamber of Commerce and Industry
(KADIN Indonesia)

Indonesia Business Logistics predicted to experience growth in 2018 and future years, it is among
others supported by the development trend of electronic commerce or e-commerce, which grew
rapidly and become the latest trend of Indonesian society. The digital era has encouraged us
to make various changes to keep up with industry developments. The incessant development
of infrastructure and certainty of departure contributed to the increase in Indonesia’s logistics
ranking index in the world, where according to World Bank research results in the 2018 Logistics
Performance Index (LPI), Indonesia’s ranking rose from 63rd to 46th position. This is certainly
expected to be a momentum for the rise of the transportation and logistics industry in the country.
The Government is now trying to encourage increased exports. The acceleration infrastructure
development various fields are expected to be able to record on all regions in Indonesia. We know
the certainty of time and the decrease in logistics costs is still a major problem. To overcome
these obstacles, we need to help the Government to accelerate this distribution program by
creating a forum that represents various stakeholders, practitioners and academics from all
relevant sectors. KADIN Indonesia believes that ITSCL 2018 can provide the platform. This event
is ready to be a place for local and international industry players to gather to discuss issues,
networks, strategies and create new business opportunities. We are also optimistic that this
forum can be one of the ways to conduct an effective marketing campaign.
The Indonesia Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KADIN) is committed to support the transport,
logistics and supply chain sector through active collaborations with all stakeholders. It is
important that KADIN be able to develop a close relationship and high level of comfort with
the business community. This builds confidence and trust, and in turn, helps to support and
strengthen business ties.

The Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in cooperation with Reed Panorama
Exhibitions and related Associations held the annual grand Transport and Logistics Industry
Event in Indonesia, titled Indonesia Transport, Supply Chain & Logistics (ITSCL) 2018. I would
like to commend the organisers for initiating the Indonesia Transport, Supply Chain and Logistics

Jakarta International Logistics Summit and Expo (JILSE) 2018 and the new segment called
Indonesia International Seaport Services (IISS) 2018. This exhibition and conference will be
very useful in updating participants with the developments and opportunities in Indonesia’s
transport, logistics and supply chain sector. At the same time, the conference will serve as a
useful networking platform for companies to touch base and renew partnerships, and to find new
common ground for collaboration with potential partners.
I wish all delegates and participants an enriching experience at the exhibition and conference.
