EIBN organized together with the regional Union of the Chambers of Commerce of Emilia-Romagna a webinar on Healthcare and Agribusiness on the 25th of November, 2015.

EIBN presented the general business opportunities in both sector focuses and assessed the potential for the registered Italian companies.

More than 30 Italian companies from both sectors participated in this webinar.

Indonesia’s healthcare equipment and medical device market is a promising industry with many valuable opportunities for European companies. This is grounded in strong annual growth rates, changing demographic and consumption patterns, the implementation of the National Health Insurance System, and a lack of domestic suppliers. However, challenges and weaknesses still remain, such as the requirement to have a local partner and the lengthy registration process.

The Agriculture Industry / Agribusiness Sector is a complex but inevitably relevant industry in the Indonesian economy. This important role is reflected in the sector’s substantial contribution to the economy in terms of employment and GDP.

In addition to its strong domestic capacity, this sector also remains one of the main industrial development priorities set by the Indonesian government, as well as an important sector for both foreign and domestic investments.  Imports and exports of agribusiness products in 2014 amounted to USD 11.33 billion and USD 35.42 billion respectively, and are projected to reach USD 13 billion and USD 40 billion respectively in 2015. Based on current data, the EU export value to Indonesia steadily increased; it was EUR 634 million in 2012 and EUR 678 million in 2013
