Business Opportunity: Jakarta Halal Expo & Conference (JHEC) 2026
Afaceri.ro, with the support of the Embassy of Romania in Jakarta and the Department of Foreign Trade, is pleased to announce a strategic opportunity for Romanian companies to enter the Indonesian market through the Jakarta Halal Expo & Conference (JHEC) 2026.
The event will take place between August 28–30, 2026, at the ICE BSD in Tangerang, Indonesia. JHEC is a premier B2B platform dedicated to the global halal industry, offering a gateway to one of the world’s largest Muslim-majority markets.
Why Indonesia? Strategic access to the Halal Ecosystem
Indonesia represents a massive consumer base where halal certification is mandatory for several product categories (managed by BPJPH). JHEC 2026 is not only for Muslim-majority countries; it has a proven track record of hosting successful participants from non-Muslim partners such as Cyprus, Thailand, Singapore, and Argentina.
Sector focus:
- Food & Beverages (High priority)
- Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics
- Modest Fashion
- Halal Tourism
- Islamic Finance
Key figures & potential:
- Market performance: Previous editions recorded over 40,000 visitors, with potential transactions reaching $10.2 million in 2025.
- 2026 projections: 30,000 professional visitors, 10+ participating countries, and over 50 international pavilions.
- Networking: Dedicated B2B matchmaking sessions and the possibility of organizing a Romanian National Pavilion.
Regulatory support & certification
The organizers, under the aegis of the Indonesian Muslim Entrepreneurs Community (KPMI), emphasize the importance of the Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH). Cooperation is envisioned between BPJPH and relevant Romanian authorities to facilitate certification processes and support Romanian exporters.
How to participate:
Companies interested in exploring synergies with Indonesian partners, joining the Romanian Pavilion, or scheduling B2B meetings are invited to express their interest.
