To MEMBERS AND FOR THE TIME BEING ASPIRANT MEMBERS
Dear members and for the time being aspirant members,
We are pleased to regularly update latest news on/of BIA:
The launching on the 15th of September at KBRI residence Avenue de Tervueren Brussels, was a great success, and we are so grateful for the hospitality and cooperation we received from KBRI Brussels the full team. A well-meant “Terima Kasih”.
From the discussions there, we conclude a few interesting matters which we like to share with you:
The Eu and some lobby firms are happy to see interest to Indonesia from a broader perspective and welcome the BeNeLux approach so that within the EU a larger scale of economy and the mutual interests are better served more efficiently as well a deeper impact.
The Indonesian companies will find a friend to “start and hang their hat” when exploring opportunities in the EU – Benelux. The Netherlands with the historic large diaspora community and the Belgium – Luxembourg market with a growing Indonesian diaspora community together form an excellent test market for Indonesian products. The tests (with an investment burden for the SME’s of Indonesia) are hitting the ground running as products are already having a potential captive market that is familiar with brands and packaging of the Indonesian market. However still labeling and product information is very strict in each country differently in the EU so assistance and guidance is important.
Other challenges for Indonesian exporters are the high costs of shipping these days and many exporters at the launching expected some government indications on assistance or even subsidy in that.
The Benelux companies looking or active in Indonesia may gain from this situation and if you look at the map with the largest growth of economies you see SE Asia with articles in most financial gazettes describing the Pacific region as the area where most action is expected. The countries of China- India – South Korea-Australia-Japan form a circle all around Indonesia. BIA can be of assistance to be the backup and help in defining plan B’s for management of Benelux companies. Our legal and experienced board has a vast network and knowledge ready to assist serious sustainable business- investments concepts.
BIA holds weekly zoom meetings and soon will do once a month live gatherings at her office in Kapellen/Antwerp with nice Indonesian food and drinks. For participating in the zoom please contact us at office@beneluxindonesia.eu . usually a few board members and people from our network are catching up on a variety of subjects and opportunities.

Vision & Mission
Background:
Networking and Business Development throughout the last 50 years have changed enormously. Internationally, though the role of embassies has changed, the training and system with staffing and execution remained the same. Chambers of Commerce in different countries are represented through different roles; some are integrated in the government administrations (e.g. in the Netherlands), whereas in other countries they are pure private initiatives.
In light of this, The Benelux – Indonesia Association (BIA) is initiated by a group of persons with high integrity and established business experiences in and between Europe and Indonesia. BIA is founded with the belief that there is a need for a sound neutral foundation that positively develops business between Indonesia and the Benelux as a gateway for the European market and vice versa.
Keeping in mind that large companies have sufficient means to enter new markets, we believe that a cooperation platform with small, medium sized companies and large conglomerates, an innovative, efficient, focussed, extensive presence can be achieved. This leads to a more impactful and sustainable growth in the trade and investments between Indonesia and the Benelux.
Win-win solutions are based on complimentary operations with common visions that are developed with and within a wide supporting ground. BIA aims to foster this supporting ground by focusing on business development with input for government policies and understanding.
Nowadays, technology immensely determine the implementation to serve the interests for all stakeholders. In BIA, we target to continue to map out an understanding of and for different views/opinions/interests. Specifically of those that seek a sustainable development of trade/industrial/financing activities between the Benelux region and Indonesia.
Indonesia is a country with a young and growing population. It is a democratic, relatively stable, large society with multicultural groups and languages, united under one republic and one common language. Benelux region in Europe is growing closer together and has an ageing population with high focus on service and technology within their economic goals.
Indonesia, with its improved education, needs more employment in industrial and agricultural whilst slowly moving away from a number of mining activities, such as coal. Furthermore, environmental sustainability is a focus that is becoming more pertinent.
Indonesia and the Benelux are complementary in many aspects; BIA aims to take this compatibility and build new as well as expand existing partnerships between companies and organisations in the two regions. BIA intends to provide know-how and expertise through exchange of information, introduction services, legal and finance supports.
Vision:
To be amongst the most relevant organization in business (trade & investments) between Benelux and Indonesian business interests. This by fostering the creation and expansion of businesses between Benelux region and Indonesia, guiding companies and organisations with integrity, transparency, and independency while upholding the values of democracy, environmental sustainability, and human rights.
Mission:
- Actively expanding BIA’s network and outreach with individuals, companies, Embassies and Representatives, to effectively foster businesses;
- Guiding newcomers and interested companies to start businesses through information by efficient and laser sharp introduction services;
- Providing clear and adequate neutral regular flow of privileged information.
