The History

Where Indonesia’s Boldest Local Treasures Meet the World’s Greatest Opportunities.
â €
A Legacy of Prestige and Unmatched Scale
Imagine a single destination where the pulse of Indonesia’s rich regions beats in harmony with global commerce.

From August 28–30, 2025, Halls 5 and 6 at ICE-BSD, Tangerang Regency, transformed into the epicenter of national trade, tourism, investment, and procurement. Apkasi Otonomi Expo (AOE) 2025 stood as a watershed moment in the history of the Association of Indonesian Regency Governments (Apkasi).

The prestige of AOE 2025 was sealed when the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, personally inaugurated the expo. Joined by the Chairman of the DPD RI, key Cabinet Ministers—including the Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Minister of Home Affairs, Minister of Finance, Minister of Social Affairs, and Minister of Digitalization—alongside the Commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and the Chief of the Indonesian National Police (Polri), the event solidified its position as Indonesia’s premier regional promotion platform.

From Local Soil to Global Markets
In his inaugural address, President Prabowo highlighted the strategic power of AOE, emphasizing its vital role in elevating regional commodities into competitive global assets.

Walking through the exhibition floors alongside Apkasi leadership and state dignitaries, the President personally engaged with regional exhibitors—exploring local innovations and savoring artisanal coffee brews from Indonesia’s celebrated coffee-growing regions.

This historic presence affirmed a undeniable truth: Apkasi Otonomi Expo is indisputably the largest regional trade, tourism, and investment showcase in the archipelago.

A Crossroads for Impact and Connection
AOE is far more than an exhibition—it is an economic powerhouse and a emotional homecoming:

  1. For Domestic & International Investors: A high-yield marketplace generating significant direct and indirect transactions, serving as the ultimate portal for sourcing top-tier commodities and unlocking regional investment opportunities.
  2. For Government Goods & Services Suppliers: An essential networking hub to forge strategic, lasting partnerships with regional leaders across Indonesia.
  3. For the Public: A vibrant celebration of home—a place to reconnect with roots and witness the dynamic transformation of their native regions.

Looking Ahead: AOE 2026 — Explore the Limitless Wealth of Indonesia
Backed by total support from the national government, private sector visionaries, and local communities, Apkasi proudly announces the return of its flagship event: Apkasi Otonomi Expo 2026: Trade, Tourism, Investment & Procurement.

Under the theme “Explore the Limitless Wealth of Indonesia,” AOE 2026 elevates the expo experience into a highly dynamic, transactional business ecosystem:

  1. Global Trade Expansion: In strategic partnership with Indonesian Trade Promotion Centers (ITPC) worldwide, AOE 2026 will directly connect exhibitors with vetted international buyers and global investment networks.
  2. Inter-Regional Trade Forum: A groundbreaking side event built to optimize regional supply-and-demand chains. By fostering seamless trade between regencies, AOE 2026 actively reduces reliance on imports and fuels robust regional economic growth.

Because every resource, every commodity, and every opportunity exists right here in Indonesia.
