European Indonesian Business Network

Submitted by ECCP Team on 09 June 2016

The EU-Indonesia Business Network (EIBN) was initiated in August 2013 as a five-year program co-funded by the European Commission, and is the product of a partnership between 7 chambers of commerce. The aim of the EU-Indonesia Business Network is to enhance and diversify trade and European business investment in Indonesia, while promoting the country as a gateway to ASEAN. EIBN seeks to contribute to a more coherent and effective EU strategy for supporting and attracting European businesses, specifically SME’s, both those already in Indonesia and those expanding their activities.

The EIBN serves as a first-entry contact point for all European businesses interested in developing their trade and investment activities in Indonesia. The newly established consortium aims to reach over 2,000 European multiplier organisations in the EU and ASEAN. Over the course of five years, the EIBN will coordinate 140 events in Europe and the ASEAN region, publish around 30 publications, develop an online information portal whereby all information, updates and advice related to doing business in Indonesia will be featured, as well as establish a platform of communication and exchange between business communities in the EU, Indonesia and ASEAN.
